Hello Fulvio,
Send you a PM at Talkchess but it remained unseen by you. Hence this try.
I don't recall we ever talked so allow me to introduce myself first,
my name is Ed Schroder author of Rebel and ProDeo.
I am a frequent user of SCID and I very much like the Polyglot book
support and arrived at the Polyglot subject I want to propose an idea
for SCID that can be beneficial for SCID and its users. And a bit for
me as well.
A couple of years ago I created the Polyglot extended format. It uses
the (in general) 4 last unused bytes (12-15) as follows:
byte 12-13 : engine score
byte 14 : engine depth
byte 15 : engine name (coded from 0-255)
Meanwhile anno 2021 I have created a Polyglot database of 60 million
quality analyzed positions (average elo ~3300) mainly with Stockfish
12 and now moved to Stockfish 13. Today I released
<http://rebel13.nl/prodeo/prodeo-3.1.html#knowledge>ProDeo Knowledge
but I am not very happy with its operation because of the lack of a
GUI and the clumsy solution (as an UCI engine) to display the score,
depth and engine name of the board position, it would be so much more
user friendly if the feature is supported by an interface.
Scrolling through a game with SCID and besides the weight also
showing the score, depth and engine name would be much more comforting.
In curious regards,
Ed
