If anyone on this list is using SCID's opening repertoire functionality
successfully, I would be interested in hearing how it is being used.
I've been meaning to set this up for my opening training and would like to
use SCID for it instead of one of the Windows programs. Esp since I am on a
Mac.
Cheers,
