 | | Olga Viewer: There was no stream this week - Next week I am aiming for release candidate 1! I will be talking more about that on Wednesday. For now please give the new features a test and provide some feedback.
<https://protozefoss.github.io/> New Features:
**Persistent storage of Olga 2 colors (cookie)
**More colors for themes and game score size slider (this has issues at the moment). ** New layout work on mobile (Portrait has a new "side by side" technique for the header). ** Improvements to header data display
**Multiple Games support for "Sets" which will be a way to share entire game sets with a unique name and date (set creation date). ** Oh did I say support for Chess960 games? Come see them, they are games 3-6 I believe. The games being tested can be found
RAW PGN (sort of):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/P...> Game Sources:
<https://github.com/ProtozeFOSS/Olga...> To change games look for the arrows at the top right of the header. |

<Stephen> is already looking at this, but <Olga> failed to display the correct start position on the FEN from this odds game I recently uploaded- so far it is the only odds game I uploaded in which <Olga> failed to display the correct start position. The ChessTempo pgn viewer was able to display the correct start position. This game here: H Halsky vs H K E Clemenz, 1862 |

| | Olga Viewer: <jessicafischerqueen> Thank you for the heads up. Yes, I believe Stephen is already got an update to chess.js and a patch to Olga 1 he is testing. Just to confirm, this game did work in Olga 2. You can test PGN in Olga 2 (if interested) by: 1. Open Olga 2 <https://protozefoss.github.io/> 2. Click the settings icon (bottom right of the game score) 3. Navigate to the "PGN Edit" tab - top right, of the menu tabs (you might need to use the arrow key to go right if you have a low resolution or portrait display). 4. Paste in the desired games(s)
5. Click the "Set PGN" button on the bottom right. You can test multiple games ("Sets"), just insert each PGN with a newline between them. You can name and date the set by adding a "Set" and a "SetDate" property into the PGN (at the top is preferred).
This is how it looks for the current game set on the test page. [Set "Testing Olga 2"]
[SetDate "Halloween 2020"] |

Not sure if it's a known issue, but when I downsize the board slightly using the slider, the move forwards/backwards arrowed buttons no longer work as a means of navigating the score. |

<Olga Viewer>
Thank you sir, that sounds like good news on the <Olga 2>. The bug search in beta testing must be exhausting, I imagine... |
|
Nov-04-20
| | Olga Viewer: Absolutely. The biggest issue is all the new features, all time. "Tabled" score format coming today, I'm very excited to show everyone! |

 | | Stonehenge: White moved twice here to start the game.
(1. e4 ... 2. d4 e6 etc.)
A Ehrmann vs Morphy, 1859 |
|
| Dec-03-20 | | Z4all: RE: <Two Move>, <Pawn and Two Moves>, games, etc... Can we please "get modern" and store these games as they were intended to be played, i.e. with a <null move (-)>. That way we avoid FEN hacking, and allow the movelists to match the source. SCID, Fritz, Chessbase(? - pretty sure thou), all allow it. <CG> should allow "-", and Olga should too. |
|

| | Olga Viewer: <Z> Olga 2 supports null moves :) Also, this odd game with white moving twice is supported as well. (IMO) The site should invest its time into making Olga 2 a first-class PGN Viewer. A lot of work needs to be done on the server-side to realize something as good as "Fritz". 🤔 Also, it is not fair to compare a commercial system with multiple developers and real money to the hobby project that Olga + CG is. |
|
| Dec-03-20 | | Z4all: <OV> any chance of you (or someone else) trying to upload a game on <CG> which has null moves? Aside- pgn4web also supports null moves, fwiw.
Correction- I should have denoted the null move with the double dash <--> instead of a single dash in my previous post. * * * * *
<A lot of work needs to be done on the server-side to realize something as good as "Fritz".> I think I agree, though exactly what is "good" is always subject to debate. I've always thought <CG> could be "better" than "good", but only after it's as "good" as "good". Ah, there's the rub. * * * * *
<Also, it is not fair to compare a commercial system with multiple developers and real money to the hobby project that Olga + CG is.> Sure, but some projects, like Linux, seem to match up pretty well against the commercial systems. I could say more, but let me finish off with the top link on google for <Olga2>: http://elisegravel.com/en/blog/olga... . |
|
| Dec-18-20 | | Z4all: Hi <Olga>,
Can I please make a request?
On the movelist below the display board, could you append the game result? I'll just assume Olga 2 already does this, but could we retrofit Olga 1 to do the same? Thanks for your consideration, and regards,
--Z |
|
Dec-18-20
| | Olga Viewer: I could easily add it to the flow score on the current codebase. I'm not sure if Olga will receive the fix but it's a possibility. |
|
| Dec-19-20 | | Z4all: Thanks for the consideration <Olga Viewer>, but I think I was mistaken - it's <pgn4web> that's not showing the result. I think <Olga> v1 already does. Sorry for the mixup. |
|
Dec-19-20
| | Olga Viewer: <Z> Absolutely! If I wasn't crazy busy yesterday I would have checked Olga to verify it worked or not. I just wanted to confirm I've made sure this got added (as I missed it) to the new build :) |

| Jan-01-21 | | mmmjv: Why is there a forum for the olga viewer which I have no trouble getting but not one for the chess viewer deluxe which I can not get? I tried the FAQ section here and it sends me to a page that tells me I can't use their java on my Chrome browser because We have detected you are using Google Chrome and might be unable to use the Java plugin from this browser. Starting with Version 42 (released April 2015), Chrome has disabled the standard way in which browsers support plugins. And I can't use it on my Firefox because
We have detected you are using the 64-bit version of Firefox which will not run the Java plugin from this browser. The Firefox I just downloaded about 20 minutes ago just for this reason. Didn't Java used to be something that was just there? I have used it before on this site in the past. I've had no problem getting the chess viewer deluxe board but now I can't. |

 | | g15713: When doing analysis, how does one tell Olga to underpromote? |
|
| Jul-01-21 | | Boomie: <Olga Viewer>
About 2 years ago, I pointed out that Olga could not handle under promotion. Periodically I have reminded you about this obvious oversight. Not only has there not been any change made, my comments have not even warranted a response. Why doesn't CG just buy a Deluxe capable board? Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel? |
|
| Jul-02-21 | | Paint My Dragon: <Olga Viewer>
I think Boomie makes a good point. Olga development seems to floundering badly. The problem that I mentioned above about the sizing slider disabling the navigation buttons resulted in you removing the slider, which was presumably the easiest fix. But now the board is larger than my screen even on the small setting, with no means of downsizing it. |
|
| Jul-02-21 | | Z truth 000000001: One problem with <Olga (2)> is that she's been orphaned, as it seems <CG> has decided to move on to a new viewer - Aria. User: Olga Man The developer seems to have soured on working on Olga (2): chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #35121) (see, also, CIO's reply just after) Unfortunately I forget the developer's name, which would be useful for looking up posts concerning development. (Actually, it would be nice if the development efforts were better documented on this page - the new name just confuses things: https://protozefoss.github.io/
is really for Aria, not Olga 2 ("new name coming" in profile above is out of date).) What viewer does Aria, in the preference dropdown list, actually use? Not the beta viewer from protozefoss. Who, if anyone, is responsible for maintaining/fixing Olga 2? * * * * *
For the record, Chris was the original Olga developer: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #32291) Christopher Dean, to be exact: Olga Chess Viewer Quickstart (cf. Credits) Maybe he's the one doing Aria? |
|
| Jul-02-21 | | Paint My Dragon: Christopher Dean? No wonder cg.com are skating on thin ice these days ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8o... |

| Jun-21-22 | | Messiah: from the chessgames.com user forum:
Messiah: <Chessical: For some reason the Olga viewer stops after 17.Rd8 and ignores the remaining moves.Prins vs J H Donner, 1951
I have imported the score into another reader and it reads correctly.> The problem is that the PGN shows <17.Rxd8+ Rd8>, but it should be <17.Rxd8+ Rxd8>. I am reporting it. |
|
| Jun-21-22 | | Messiah: Oh, just spotted <Olga chokes on PGN that does not include "x" for captures, e.g. ed5 instead of exd5.> |

 | | Dionysius1: Anyone got an explanation, or even better a cure for most of the pieces being replaced by thumbnails of people (mostl women I think) in suits, and no engine or settings buttons? This happened about 5 days ago and has been consistent except that which pieces are affected seems to change.
Thanks |
|
| Jun-26-22 | | Z free or die: <Dionysius1> I've tried to replicate that, as it would be a hilarious hack to see, but failed. Though of course I'm sure, as a hack, it gets old fast. Have you saved a screenshot of it?
