Hi all, I'm trying to move from fritz to scid (getting tired of the whole virtual machine thing) but there are a couple of features that I miss.
I would like to propose the following features for scid: - It should be possible to score every move without adding a variation to it. I know this is possible if one decides to annotate every move but then reviewing the game becomes very tiring with all the variations. I think one should be able to score every move and annotate (add a variation) only when there was a blunder. Since the graph score capability is already there I think it would be more useful if one can see how the score is changing for every move and not just when there is a blunder. If you want further motivation, please note that fritz allows for this (just trying to open up a discussion here :) ). I believe this has been requested in the past and it was refuted on the grounds of it crowding the analyze menus. - Overnight analysis. Annotation of games can take a long long time and thus it is useful to do it overnight. However I don't understand why the engine doesn't stop analyzing once it reaches the last position. I don't see why the last move should be an exception. Pascal argument was that some people want to analyze the infinity the last position and that this would once again clutter the analyze menu. In this case I agree that there is no need for an extra option. But the default behavior should be changed to stop the engine after the time per move has been reached just like every other move in the game. After all, if the user wants to analyze the last position of the game he/she can set up the position and leave the engine on, return after a few days and then click on "add variation". Please let me know what you think. I was able to hard code the score every move (sort of) but I'm not sure how to force the engine to stop analyzing the last move of the game after the time has expired. Ideas, suggestions are welcome. Thank you Ricardo. -- [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
