Before we embark on this magical journey, a reminder: I'm not claiming to be the original wizard behind this extension. The first developer was thedemons (GitHub), but it seems they've left the project to us mere mortals. While I work on updates, let's remember and honor the original wizard!
Behold the magical powers of BetterMint:
- Depth: Dive into the chess cosmos! Control the maximum depth the engine searches during analysis. Deeper analysis means a more thorough understanding of the game, but be patient; it demands time.
- Skill Level: Adjust the engine's playing strength. Higher values make it a grandmaster; lower values, a novice. But remember, true mastery comes from learning, not shortcuts.
- Lines: Explore multiple paths to victory. Determine the number of principal variations the engine shares, revealing its top moves and evaluations.
- Threads: Unleash the power of parallel dimensions! Specify the number of CPU threads for faster analysis. Quality over quantity!
- NNUE: Unlock the secrets of "Efficiently Updatable Neural Network" (NNUE). It provides precise position assessments.
- Auto Move Time: Master the art of time manipulation. Delay auto moves strategically.
- Mate Finder: Seek the quickest checkmate from your current position.
- Random Best Move: Add unpredictability to auto moves with random best choices.
- Legit Auto Move: Automate moves like a true player, introducing delightful mistakes.
- Show Hints: Receive move suggestions based on analysis depth.
- Text-to-Speech: Turn moves into spoken words for streaming, but remember, moves don't make the player!
- Move Analysis: Get feedback on your or your opponent's moves. Learning from mistakes is true magic!
- Depth Bar: Witness the magic unfold! The Depth Bar shows the engine's analysis progress.
- Evaluation Bar: Discover your position's secrets! The Evaluation Bar indicates if you're on the path to victory.
Remember, BetterMint is a tool to enhance your learning, not a shortcut to mastery. Embrace the magic of chess through practice and dedication!
