Hi! Till now I was not aware that Scid can handle different rating systems simultaneously, that is, that it can store Elo values along with DWZ or ICCF ratings. This is a very nice feature, and I just adopted the CC code to allow to choose the rating system on per server basis and store it accordingly within the internal database. (Usually, the Xfcc server returns a valid rating for each opponent, but of course the rating is given for the servers internal rating system.)
Now, I wondered if I could use those different ratings also from within the spell checker, as I'm working on a conversion tool from the ICCF database to Scid. For the ICCF-ratings file, however, It would be sensible to add %ICCF-lines here, and not %Elo lines. But unfortunately, this does not seem to work, I get an error that there are no Elo-lines available in my spellchecking file. :( Would it require much work to add the handling of the other ratings systems also to the spell checker? IMHO it would make quite some sense, and the other functions of Scid seem to be well aware of other rating systems. At least the rating graph works nicely if I add the numbers to other fields than Elo. The only other way I currently know to add ratings from a suitable file to an existing database without ratings would be, to name the lines %Elo in my ratings file, get WhiteElo and BlackElo added to every game via Scids spell checker. Then I could export it to PGN, run a Search/Replace in the header and re-import the base. This is kind of ugly, I admit. -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery.
