My primary use of Scid is to analyse my opening play. I have a very large database (3mil?) based on a converted ChessBase Mega + TWIC. I'm sure a lot of you have a similar setup.
I usually open Mega, then open the Tree view. Hit the lock toggle. Then I go over to my game. I look at the win/loss and frequence of play for different moves while I move through the opening. What I'd like to see for Scid (and perhaps this is already partially a feature) is to be able to save the cache from the entire Big-Base as a file that I can load next time w/o having to generate the tree again. Instead of the tree being calculated to a certain number of moves per line -- it would be nice if a threshold of number of games played in that position; postitions that have only been played 10 times don't have much statistical merit. And really, I don't mind if it takes a week to generate this opening cache -- but I'd like to do it just once and load it after that. I know this is approximately what we've been talking about for the last week. I just thought I'd throw in my two-cents, and hopefully give Pascal some ideas. -j ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
