Hi, I added the undo function (shortcut CTRL-z). It is commited in CVS. Done in 30 minutes, tested during 30 seconds, so consider it as work in progress (you will lose all your data, crash Scid, etc.). But feel free to report bugs. Note I did not (yet) put rollback points at every place a game can

You can edit a Polyglot book from Scid, and moves cannot be deleted (simply because I was too lazy to do that), but their weight can be set to 0 which is mapped to epsilon. Pascal 2009/11/18 shiv shivaji > I wonder if Scid can support deleting moves from a polyglot book. Is this > supported by

The unresponsiveness only lasts a couple of seconds. If I set comparisons for dumb engines that calculates at ply 100 when it knows it's a mate in 2, this will slow down the analysis process in general. Pascal 2009/11/13 Michal Rudolf > I noticed that Scid becomes unresponsive for some engines
