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

I wonder if Scid can support deleting moves from a polyglot book. Is this supported by polyglot api? We could put something in the Scid UI which sets score to 0.01 (or epsilonÉ›). Any move with a score so low will be ignored by polyglot and when exporting books to pgn, moves with such sco

Now prodeo UCI works in Scid. I debugged a few issues and showed a potential fix to Pascal which is now committed to Scid trunk. Thanks to Pascal for doing a quick commit. The reason prodeo is an interesting engine is that it supports handicap play (ie simulating a strong club player) etc. In a
