Hello everyone, I've been interested in SCID lately... hopefully I'll have it up on git soon. I may wish to contribute, depending on how things work out and permission of course.
I was impressed when I saw the "Ask Before Replacing Moves" option in SCID. Very convenient. On a related note, I've been looking for software that can works with analysis trees without specification of main lines. IE a program that work like SCID with the mentioned property, but with the feature that it stores all the lines explored in a bare list, without designated branches. I don't think pgn has a notation for this(?). Essentially, all that would be involved would be a table of lines sorted so lines along the same branches are placed next to each other, for example: [From the opening, say] e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Bxc6 dxc6 d4 e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Bxc6 dxc6 0-0 e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Ba4 ... e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Bc5 c3 ... e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Bc5 d3 ... e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 ... e4 e6 and so on (but from any position, not just the start) This feature would make a chess database a killer app. After all, one doesn't learn to play chess blindfolded, why should one to learn how to analyze blindfolded? That is what I want to do, practice analysis visually. Rex Butler
