Hello,

I haven't quoted everything discussed but I have read it all. 
I'm playing chess for almost 14 years now, and been using chess software 
starting with the earliest fritz and chessbase version; anyway, my point is, 
you only need a database for two things: opening preparation and tournament 
preparation against a specific opponent. The only reliable way of gaining chess 
knowledge is by studying chess books. It IS indeed useful to be able to 
reference a game in an unique way but you can also do that by combining some 
specific info like eco code, year, name of the player(s). 

However as soon as I finish up with my exams I will be able to help with 
anything you should need - html for the site, databases, screenshots, etc..

I do have some suggestions: 

- maybe budle up the chess12 latex package along with scid: this way latex 
opening reports saved with scid can be turned into pdf... on my gentoo linux 
I'm using rubber for this (http://iml.univ-mrs.fr/~beffara/soft/rubber/)

- it would be useful if the "browse" chess board (which can also be resized by 
using ctrl+shift+<arrow>) would remember it's size

- when I play a 'serios' game against Rybka (which runs through wine) it seems 
that the 'permanent thinking' option is not working, but I have checked with 
other engines (fruit, toga) and with them it works just fine. I can't figure it 
out :(

- the clock when playing games against engines in scid would look so much 
better if it were a digital clock instead of the current analog one

- scid would look really awesome if it had prettier icons for all the buttons - 
not I know I'm asking too much but I think scid has the potential to become 
truly awesome

ok, that's pretyt mcuh all I can remember for now.

Respectfully, Bogdan
