I know. But have you ever tried it? Especially the implementation in Rybka has "a lot of development potential". I recently made a test series with that engine and the main point is: the engine always moves immediately. This is a very "unnatural" playing experience. More important: there is almost no difference between the different levels. The engine got the same result (0/24) if set to 1200 or 1800 against my testing group. Even if set to 2400 it only got 2.5 out of 24. Best was a setting to 2200 which get 4/24. The default setting got 101.5/120. But that is not really a Scid problem. Maybe I'll make a posting in the Rybka forum soon. But I think playing strength is the only thing most people care about. However, because an xboard engine offers such well implemented options (abnother one which does that well is ProDeo) I would appreciate if I can use it from inside Scid, but I use Scid mainly as as a database.
