Why I wrote that Scid/Scidb is not designed for huge bases: Opening a huge database takes a lot of time (ChessBase is lightning-fast in opening huge databases). With huge databases the opening tree takes a lot of time with the first moves. Of course, some users may not be disturbed by this fact. And of course the speed depends on the disk speed, I don't have super-fast disks. The limit of 1.5 million games is my own impression, everybody has his own impression. At least, it is of course possible to work with huge databases without problems (but that's no fun for me). By the way, this (own) limitation of 1.5 million games is not a real limitation for me, all my databases are in general smaller. > Not that I know which is correct, but did you mean THE devloper, or the > principal developer? Scidb has currently only one developer.
