Bugs solved

• (Major) When playing against the computer and pressing Ok to start a second game, and then trying to move the first piece as the white player in 'best move' mode, the assistant was sometime providing incorrect hints, blocking the game.

• (Minor) some Stacktraces were shown in the logs due double calls (in certain conditions) to the dialog setVisible() method.
