I am afraid the code in addAnnotation{} did already. For me it is not
that easy to grasp what is going on there. From a software design
perspective, it is simply unfortunate that both autoplay{} and
addAnnotation{} do move-order business.

Hi Pascal,
Just a general suggestion:
There is no need to take a defensive position here. I really want to
help making scid a better thing than it is, and I simply report what I
do not understand or like.
That's all.
More info below.
Cheers,
Joost.

I don't want to deter you but :
- variations can be annotated (so also backward !) ;
- what is the benefit of going backward ? What will be the real improvement
? A +3 % in annotation quality ?
- It is a question of hash : do you know how long it takes to fill 100 Mo of
hash ?
- think of move 50 w

The tag could easily be changed for a better one. I admit that I lack
creativity, however.

This is on the agenda for quite a while. It would be great
if you want to check into this issue.

Hi,
When using an engine with some hash-capabilities, it is seriously
beneficial to annotate a game end-to-start, instead of start-to-end.
I was trying to figure out how to accomplish this. Code sits in
main.tcl/autoplay{}, right?
I guess the current default proceeding is as follows.
1) An as
Hi,
[cvs - Linux]
1) Set the cursor in the PGN window at the one-before-final position of
a game (that extends beyond some known opening line).
2) Open an engine. I use deep shredder 11 (UCI), for that matter.
3) Open the annotation dialog, enable book usage and opening error
finding (e.g. 12)
Personnally, I'd prefer to play with handicaps for serious training.
But it's a usual functionality, so it might be a good idea anyway.

Hi,
To play against Scid with a weakened engine is a good training tool (and
certainly entertaining). Some engine offers this but are badly implemented
(for example reducing the number of nodes, choosing a random move) which
does not really gives nice tactical shots and an human style of play. The

Alexander, I saw some (very minor) odd behavior with board
Hi,
[cvs - Linux Ubuntu]
On my system, scid reports in the welcome window that a tDOM package is
missing and that thus "internal Xfcc support is disabled."
What do I miss without _internal_ Xfcc support? Funny: The acronym
finder reports "Expanded Fire Control Computer". Sure I can do without
