Hi. How do you insert a variation to the end of the game without it being appended to the actual game score? For example the game I am looking at ends with 50.RF8+  1-0 Black clearly resigned But what if I want to make some moves on the board to see why be resigned.   When I do they are ad

[Scid-users] The sound and the fury

2013-11-24 Thread Thomas Malloy
Hi Sound on SCID is disabled because the Snack audio package could not be found at startup. So we find out that snack is some kind of TCL audio package. What the hell, I'll just install it. But I get message that it can't install because it can't find wish. Now I think that I could install

Someone should say it, so it might as well be me. People who crack (hacker are really an old slang term for programmer. As in hack together some code) into a free non profit server should be dragged into the street and castrated. I mean really what kind of an asshole does this. On 7/21/201

2012-09-29 Thread Thomas Malloy
Are there better ways that SCID could use NAG values in annotation? Perhaps I don't properly understand how to use them. When I type $43 in the comment editor annotation section I expect the PGN move list window to add "Black does not have sufficient compensation for the material". Which is what t

[Scid-users] Is there a way to do scripting or batch processing?

2012-03-14 Thread Thomas Malloy
Hi, Are there any scripting or batch processing functions in scid? For example: 1. You have a pgn file of thousands of chess positions from games, but not the games themselves. Say like a file containing tactical positions from famous games. You want to want to search for those positions in yo

2012-03-06 Thread Thomas Malloy
I'd rather not start a war. But if possible could anyone explain what "scid vs pc" is. And why one might prefer it or reject it in comparison to scid. It looked interesting so I compiled it. I have not really looked at it to closely. I was a little surprised that it took the scid executable nam

Re: [Scid-users] Problems installing Scid

2012-01-26 Thread Thomas Malloy
Hi Peter, When I have installed SCID using config/make I usually find it necessary to install different versions of TCL and TK. I have done it several times because debian is sometimes behind in releases. For some reason the configuration file does not realize that 8.6 will probably include eve
