[Scid-users] Unable to strip comments and variations

2009-11-18 Thread Robert Ryan

I was able to get serious game to work as well. It is interesting especially to play against a club player (prodeo simulating club player). The write permissions are needed, because prodeo writes to a debug.txt in the same folder. There should be a way to disable this (did not check yet). Shiv

I wonder if Scid can support deleting moves from a polyglot book. Is this supported by polyglot api? We could put something in the Scid UI which sets score to 0.01 (or epsilonÉ›). Any move with a score so low will be ignored by polyglot and when exporting books to pgn, moves with such sco

[Scid-users] Prodeo with scid

2009-11-18 Thread shiv shivaji
Now prodeo UCI works in Scid. I debugged a few issues and showed a potential fix to Pascal which is now committed to Scid trunk. Thanks to Pascal for doing a quick commit. The reason prodeo is an interesting engine is that it supports handicap play (ie simulating a strong club player) etc. In a
