[Scid-users] Possible to play via direct network connection?

2011-01-12 Thread John Buttery
First of all, sorry if this is off-topic; I know Scid is mainly a database application and the ability to play games against others (e.g. via FICS and correspondence) is a relatively recent addition. That said... Is it possible to play a game between two copies of Scid connecting directly to

Hi, at the bottom of the tree window there is a button to enable/disable the update. When you disable it scid still keeps the filter for the game list with the content of this moment. You can move on the board and the games in the game list are still the same. In your case there was only o

Hello, you cannot move forward and backward, but you can enter moves. So the program behaves correct. Currently the tree filter is still active, if the tree window is disabled. It is just not updated. It may be a better idea it close the filter and recreate it when the window is enabled ag

Great to hear that more pros/semi pros are using Scid. I am an FM myself and have a hard time convincing GMs/IMs to use Scid. This is mainly because they are used to a certain GUI and want to focus on openings instead of the GUI. There are a few titled players on this forum. With Scid, there a

Hi, [CVS] Following might be a corner case, but I came across it, and it is naughty. Open a game in some base, and open the game list and the tree for that base. Go to some base-unique position in the game, strip all moves from the beginning and save as a new game. Load the new game (filter i

Hi, Hm, strange indeed. You can easily follow what is happening by watching the status line (no need to actually enter a complete move and thus change application state and complicate analysis). It happens in both Windows and Linux and I do not think it has anything to do with the filter. It

2011-01-12 Thread Alexander Wagner
Hi! Current cvs: keyboard move entry seems broken in case a piece is to be moved. Reproduce it: - Open a new game - Focus main window - Key in "Nf3" Notice that the N gets ignored, Scid moves "f3" with a pawn. - Open a new game - Focus main window - Key in "NfNf3" Now the N is recognised, and

I'm not a lawyer, but intellectual property is my specialty and the only thing that's pretty clear is that the moves for an individual game aren't protected by copyright. Collections of games, however, may be, depending on the collection, as are collections of other public information. This doesn't
