[Scid-users] Scid wish - save results of material/pattern search as epd

2010-02-04 Thread J. Wesley Cleveland
I would like some way to save results of material/pattern search as epd. I would like to create test sets of positions with various material combinations and this would allow me to automate the process. Ideal would be to have a search option that wrote all matching positions as epd to a file with a

Hmmm... Actually, i might be wrong about pgn needing changes. But another thing to consider is - A lot of Scid's database analysis is only useful because there's one starting position. In Chess960, there's many starting positions, and no such divergance, making vigorous analysis a little pointle

Hello, Being able to merge multiple games needs being able to select multiple games in the Gamelist. That would be great for lots of editorial task. But that does not seem a priority right now for the development team. (I recall there is also a design problem, but haven't checked the archives.)

Ok, let me try to explain, Let's say you have an opening like the French, You have a database which has only French games (as you can easily get), by merging all the game in to one single game you can then at a touch of a bottom (backwards & forwards) go through all the variations to get a feel

No, I don't think so. The Opening Report creates opening reference-style tables out of the top-100 rated games in a position. That is perhaps slightly similar, of course depending on how you want to use the game. What would you use such a super-merged game for? Personally I've wondered about the

But that'll only work on a game by game basis, so if you want to merge a whole database you'd have to select each game individually and go through that process every time... So I'm guessing there's no other way? J On Wed, 2010-02-03 at 18:43 -0500, Benoit St-Pierre wrote: > Hello, > > Here is w
