I have Scid version 4.6.0 on my Linux laptop. When I enter moves, say, by
moving the e-pawn from e2 to e4, the pawn moves as it should but when I release
the mouse, the pawn immediately jumps back to e2 on its own and repeats the

Thanks, Benoit. That's good advice about being cautious with using a
particular number such as 1300 for unrated players. I'm willing to just leave
that field blank (is that what you are recommending?) except that my games

I do this with Edit --> Set Up Start Board. Then I start the analysis engine
but quickly cover up its output with another window (I use the Book Window F6
for that). Let it run for a few minutes and then look at the engine analysis
for the solution.

This is a message to Mikhail Kalenkov, who was kind enough to build a scid RPM
for Fedora available at http://katrine.lpi.ru/kalenkov/.
