I don't understand "tactical database" : this is just a mere Scid base, whose type is flagged as "Tactics". All bases for training are in the "bases" directory. If you mean the "tactics/easy" base it is a simple import of tactical exercises that were in a PGN file. >> If you want, we can work on that subject (blunder finder) and make >> something that can feed both ChessX and Scid.

For example : http://www.chessville.com/instruction/POW/instr_weekly_problem_archive.htm There are 2 parameters when finding a blunder, which are difficult to set up : - the time to spend checking for the blunder (a move may look sound if your engine uses 10 seconds and a disaster after 30 sec) - the threshold of the blunder (is a score decreasing by 0.5 a blunder ?) > >> PS : When you say "simple mates are probably too easy for my coaching >> purposes", I personaly think mate in 2/3 moves are perfect for coaching >> with kids or even adults (if this is your intention).
