I started to work on the Download page: https://github.com/bstp/scid-on-the-web/wiki/Download
Thinking about user cases, I suggest we provide courtesy bases: - OTB World Champions (Morphy, Fischer) - Tactical base - Studies’ base - Correspondence Wch games - Famous computer chess games - Miniatures - Simple games: e.g. Morphy, Lasker, Capablanca, Euwe, etc. At the very least, we should provide a file that could be used for tutorial purpose. My Scid tutorial came with Zurich 1953. HIARCS' documentation uses this strategy: it reinsures users to reproduce what we're telling them. *** Here's what you get when you buy PGNMentor: Thousands of grandmaster games, including every world championship game ever played Companion PGN files for Garry Kasparov's On My Great Predecessors, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Companion PGN files for several classic master games, tactics and endgame chess books *** The old NicBase came with Morphy's games, Fischer's games, a very good selection of a thousand games or so from the chess titans. I still consult NicBase's selection from time to time. In fact, I could ask them if they would not mind us providing it. They would not mind if we thank them, I think. *** Providing such games could become a way for non-programmers to give back to the community. *** Sooner or later, collecting chess games will have to become crowded-sourced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
