Seems to work nicely. :)

As you need http package: if no connection is available this
package throws an error I was unable to catch. Did not yet
check TB support for this, but did you solve this "by the
way"? (If, how? ;)

Pete, I also checked the docs for TB, and they need some
additions/crossreading/update.  As I figure you use this
exensively, maybe you could rework that chapter?
Additionally, endgame training seems not to be mentioned at
all.  Would you mind to take care about this? Maybe also in
the polish edition of the manual? (I fancy you're from
poland due to the .pl) I could do the german translation
afterwards, from the english.

Concerning endgame training, though this is redundant, maybe
a menu entry in the play/training submenu would be in order?
Admitting, that I never noticed that Scid can be used for
this. I could imagine random positions with up to 6 pieces,
but maybe specialised positions are more suitable. Pete?
