Well, that is one point that I certainly think should be changed. My preferences would be to order the games after Year as first priority and after strongest players ratings as second, leaving average rating down on third level in the sorting process. That way the most "modern" approach comes up on top - which is of course also true if some 1400 fellow totally mishandled the position two weeks ago (but then that would be rather obvious). > >> In the Analysis Engine #2 Window: >> 1) I want the finish game button to use two engines (one for each side) >> in fact creating a match between the Analysis Engine #1 and the Analysis >> Engine #2 >> > > No opinion. > >> >> Often i want to look at two or more games at once, and scid allows me >> only one board, a very big limit. >> Actually the biggest problem is that certain windows (such as the Tree >> Window and the PGN Window) are designed to function with only one board. >> I'm thinking about two options: >> 1) Add a list of "open" games that allows to quickly switch from one >> game to another.
