Franz: I knew that mechanism. Does this also mean that you
keep all the concordances within this list?
Besides: IMHO the much greater problem comes with your
"Botvinnik"-problem. How do you solve that? Does it mean
that you keep a list like
if (date > x) and (date < y) then use ...
or what's your algorithm there?

I see that we've also the FIDE-ID stored already. Could this
be used for the correct association? I think about something
like
if ((name = listname) or (name = listalias)) and (fideid = listid)
Keeping in mind that this ID is reused I wonder wether
4100018 will be reused for another "Kasparov, Garry". This
could in principle happen of course but could probably be
excluded as if I get it right in that case a player has do
be "out of the list" for some time.
Otherwise I think if that does not match the user would have
to do the association and one would have to store this
decision somehow. Or how do you deal with that.

Agree.

I never left an doubt that Franz does some great work her,
and for the time beeing one could first of all think of a
somewhat "automatic" update from Franz' page. (Probably
naming the download file something like 200710.ssp.gz, and
rename it to ratings.ssp.gz after download would be good
enough.)
Still I think it would be a good idea to have this update
within scid, and as Franz has some expertise with the raw
data maybe we could work it out. At least I'd like to have a
look at that part. (Besides I think thats a bit more in my
range than the rather complex Stoyko Pascal is searching a
volunteer.)
Franz what do you think about porting your script into scid?
