I don't know if Lucas comes here. You might be better to email him at the address shown at the bottom right corner of his web page:

He's normally very quick at dealing with problems.

Yep. I asked a question on the blog about adding my favourite ChessCases pieces to Lucas a while back and he responded within a few hours. Lots of queries re bugs etc. are raised there.
Hello chess community, I am not sure who else uses Lucas Chess but I am encountering a technical dilemma and I am interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this.
I set up an engine vs engine tournament to observe, but unfortunately, I am unable to view any of the games, nor am I able to convert them into PGN files. From the opening board, once the program is launched, I am going Tools --> Engines --> Tournaments between engines, and then I locate the "tournament" that holds the games. Next, I head to the finished games tab, right next to the "Results" tab, and I am given the options of "save(PGN)" and "save(Database)".
If I highlight one game I'd like to save and hit "save(PGN)", I am given the option to save it locally like normal (either desktop or some folder on my laptop). By default, it uses UTF-8 to encode the PGN file but I'm wondering if this needs to be changed because when I try and save the file, it appears as a completely empty database with no games. I am expecting just a PGN file but it outputs an entire database with nothing in it. On the other hand, if I try saving the game by hitting "Save(Database)", it tries to append the game(s) to a database within Lucas Chess which is fine by me, because I will be transferring it to Chessbase anyhow. However, yet again once I save it, and then access the database, it is completely empty with nothing in it.
In either case, the game(s) are not saved, and what's worse is the "show" icon between "remove" and "save(PGN)" under the completed games tab is broken, therefore I cannot even view the games to enter/study them manually. They are currently stored there, but I can't even see the moves or anything, and I would really like to.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
