<p>Perhaps a useful function would be checknstep, which would check to see if it is a valid move of exactly n steps all in the same direction. This would allow you to put pawns on a really big board more easily. Or make another version of 'checkaride' that allows you to specify the maximum number of rider-steps. This would be important for the short rook in CWDA.</p>
<p>P.S. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!</p>
I have finished changing the item name for each preset page to the name used for the game in the preset. This will cause a link to the game's logs to show up on the preset page when there are logs available. In the future, whenever anyone creates a new preset page, please make the item name the same as the game's name inside the preset. Don't call it anything like 'Game Courier preset for ...'. Just use the game's name. Likewise, just use the game's name for the link text. You can mention Game Courier in the description, but leave it out of the link text. This allows the preset pages to be listed together without extraneous information in the link text that is already obvious from the context.
Okay, I think I found and fixed the problem. I added some preprocessing for automation code today. It strips out comments and any leading or trailing whitespace from a line. The problem was that it changed the value of automation code strings, and this caused them to be saved in logs when they shouldn't be. I fixed this by using separate strings for the preprocessed automation code, and I also fixed the logs that had been causing problems with the Logs page by deleting all the automation code assignments. The automation code for these games should be found in the settings files, not in the logs.
I see a different message that the one reported by Greg. Here is it: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/chessvar/public_html/play/pbmlogs/alice_chess/markthompson-crazytom-2004-264-062.php on line 83
I report the same error, you can´t display any game using the filters. It seems that the problem is originated from the Alice game mentioned in the message.
