Hi again!
Concerning databases: any suggestions on where to find good collections
to download and play with? Googling for it mostly gives me online
databases, like http://chessopeningsdatabase.com/

Hi!
Also, the feature "Play - Training - Openings" souds interesting - but
it asks med to first open repertoire database. So what is that...? How
do I find or construct one?
As Alexander has said there is a help file, which I am actually in the
process of rewriting (should be soon).
To answer your question - there's lots of ways you can construct a
repertoire. Basically, the process is - get a database of games with
the openings you want, perhaps a database of just the Bishop's Opening
for example, then find a way to mark some of these games as white
openings or black openings. Then you need to set the icon of the
database to one of the opening icons.
For example, here's one way to construct a simple database - I can't
vouch for it's quality.
Filter one of your databases (or download one from the internet - you
can even buy some although I like to stick to the free/open-source
ones) for the opening you want, then copy the filtered games to
a separate database, named something appropriate - e.g.:
"BishopsOpening". Then in that database, you need to assign some games
as white opening, and some as black opening (you can do just the one,
or you can do both). One way you could do this, is filter the new
database for 1-0 results, then go to the Database Maintenance window,
and assign the filter games with the "White Opening" flag. Then if you
want black openings, do the same for 0-1 results, using the "Black
Opening" flag.
Finally you set the icon. Up in the top right corner of the Database
Maintenance window you should see a picture. Click on the picture and
select the appropriate icon. I.e. if you have only flagged white
openings, choose the white openings icon, if you have both, choose the
black and white openings icon, etc, etc.
I don't have SCID on this computer, so I'm doing this from memory -
but it should be correct.
Alexander - this is the kind of thing I'll be putting in the help
file. Are you satisfied with this level of explanation?
Dale
Grateful for any advice on this.
Best,
Magnus
