Core Features
1. Shash UCI Engine Integration
ShashChess is launched as a UCI engine via named pipe communication (non-blocking)
Real-time analysis output parsing for best moves, scores, depth, and PV lines
Engine runs continuously, providing live evaluation as games progress
Pipe buffer is drained at ~60fps to prevent blocking
2. Real-Time Notation & Glyph System
Tracks move quality using engine evaluation deltas:

!! (Brilliant) - Score jumps +24+ cp from engine's perspective
! (Good) - Engine's #1 move
!? (Interesting) - Complexity spike (evaluation fluctuation)
?! (Dubious) - Slight inaccuracy ( to cp)
? (Mistake) - Clear error ( to cp)
?? (Blunder) - Major mistake (+ cp loss)
?? (Major Error) - Catastrophic loss (+ cp)
?? (Game Over) - Decisive (+ cp)
∞ (Unclear) - High evaluation fluctuation
□ (Only Move) - #1 vs #2 gap > cp
Each glyph triggers sound effects (MP3) for immediate audio feedback.

3. Visual Notation HUD (NP - Notation Panel)
Floating transparent overlay showing live notation stats
Displays glyph counts per player (White/Black columns)
WDL Display - Win/Draw/Loss percentages from engine evaluation:White's perspective: W%, D%, L% (white win, draw, white lose)
Updates in real-time as engine provides WDL data
Shows "avg/X moves" as running average
Interactive: drag to move, click to toggle size, save/load position
Custom draw graph showing score trajectory over game

4. Shash OSD (On-Screen Display)
Main status panel with:

Engine thinking status (Waiting... / Thinking...)
White/Black advantage indicator
Current opening name
Move history with glyphs and eval scores
Close button
5. Evaluation Graph Window (EvalGraphGui)
Floating transparent window with scrollable horizontal timeline
Unified 3-in-1 Layout (default mode):EVAL Section (40%) - Centipawn evaluation dots with connecting lines, notation glyphs (!!/?/etc.), score labels
ELO Section (35%) - Progressive ELO estimation with 3 lines per player (ACPL-ELO, Human-ELO, Average-ELO), band fills between lines, connecting line rectangles
WDL Section (25%) - Stacked bar graph (W/D/L) per move with percentage labels inside bars
All three sections share a synchronized move timeline with labels at bottom
Fullscreen Modes (right-click cycles):Tab 0 = Unified 3-in-1 layout
Tab 1 = EVAL fullscreen
Tab 2 = ELO fullscreen
Tab 3 = WDL fullscreen
Tab 4 = Complexity Analysis fullscreen
Graph Features:Scrollable horizontally with mouse wheel
Collision-free label placement with leader lines
Glow effects on data labels when one player's value exceeds the other's
Band fills between ELO lines showing accuracy spread

King Safety - Directional shield system with pawn bonuses, enemy penalties, attack detection
Pawns - Structure quality with doubled/isolated penalties, chain bonuses
Center - Control of central squares with exponential file weight falloff

ELO-style label boxes with collision avoidance for each data point
Band fills between paired series (White vs Black) for visual comparison
Glow effects on labels when one side's value exceeds the other's:White glows are brighter (., 0x0055FFBB)
Black glows are darker (., 0x00224488)
Posture bars centered on move positions with WHITE/BLACK labels
Side headers with panel titles and legends in larger fonts
Data labels with 65px wide boxes and collision detection
Interactive Tooltips - Hover over any label box to see series name, move number, and value
8. Captures Window (CapturesOSD)
Displays captured pieces for both sides with visual icons
ELO Values shown for both players:ACPL-ELO - Engine-calibrated ELO from accuracy
HUMAN-ELO - Adjusted ELO accounting for blunders/mistakes/variance
AVG-ELO - Average of ACPL and Human ELO
ELO formulas:ACPL = Total_Centipawn_Loss / Moves_Count
ACPL_ELO = 2620 * exp( * ACPL_trimmed)

Human_ELO = ACPL_ELO - Blunder_Penalty - Mistake_Penalty - Variance_Penalty
Blunder_Penalty = ELO * (1 - exp( * Blunder_Rate))
Mistake_Penalty = Mistake_Rate * 120
Variance_Penalty = min(250, (ACPL_raw - ACPL_trimmed) * 4)

Complexity Formulas
Mobility:

Developed pieces get partial credit: Rank 3/6: ×, Rank 4/5: ×
Composite multipliers: depth factor (0.3xx), composite factor (), posture factor (Attacking ×, Balanced ×, Defensive ×)
King Safety:

Directional shield system: front shield ×3 (direct), × (diagonal), × (2 files away)
Side shield ×2, rear pieces ×
Castled bonus: +15, Uncastled center after move 8: -15
Pawn Shield Bonus: +12, Pawn Wall Integrity: +18/+8
Material Advantage: + per point (max +15), Advanced Pawn Zone: +4
Enemy penalties, defender attack detection, no friendly pieces within 4 Manhattan squares → 0%
Pawn Structure:

Base: 100, -12 per missing pawn, -20 doubled, -15 isolated
Proximity penalty: -3 per Manhattan distance unit from nearest friendly pawn (threshold >2)
Chain bonus: +10 per diagonal chain link (max +30)
Center Control:

Exponential file weight falloff: d/e=x, c/f=x, b/g=, a/h=
Core (d4/e4/d5/e5): pieceValue × 3 × fileWeight

what the heck

I have a discord for the mod ! you can read all about it in a 'nicer' md file. Also post updates there ! This is real ! it's chessmaster 11 with modern+ features ! all live !

man chill your one year old account will be banned plus this forum is gonna get locked soon

I see, I've been working on this unique mod for the most beloved chess game series ever made, post it in a "chess related forum" that apparently is a no no ! Got it ! Screw this site.

Where can we download the mod? I can't find it on the discord channel

bro are mods seriously ignoring this forum

What is actually wrong with you ? WHAT TF IS YOUR PROBLEM ?

Not ready yet. Stay tuned

this tool can be used for two purposes, as an analysis tool after the game, or for the obvious purpose, a cheating tool DURING the game. with all my respect to your dedication for the program, it's one of those tools that is ruining chess. that's my problem

test can't say naughty words on this site...lol said people are S**T, couldn't post. Yeah, cheaters are subhuman entities.

Oh !!! lol, you should have said this in the beginning ! I don't play online chess ! so this didn't even occur to me ! sorry for my reaction. This is meant for self improvement, live feedback, interactive play/feel ! Nothing like this exists for any chess software ! and to this degree ! People are crap, it's not software that's the issue, it's people ! People are ruining chess !
