I used first approach in ChessX. I agree with Alexander that it is more user friendly (less delay). > Still, there might be an issue here with how the fill cache function > works. I don't think that there is a side effect but you should be > careful not to break it. If the cache is updated only after full, successful search, no break will happen. BTW. is it possible to enable 'Auto-Save Cache Buffer" option by default? Now it seems the cache content is lost when one forgets to set it. As we already have the option to set cache size, I suggest to just drop the option and always save cache (letting user to set a very small cache if he is concerned about disk space). > Some in > the opening where the tree is very helpful and should be updated, some > in the middle or endgame where ther're just no games anymore. Do you see > an automatic way to prevent Scid from continually updateing the tree here? One idea is to store ply number of the last non-unique position in each game. But, this will require quite expensive indexing when database is modified. -- Michał Rudolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
