What is scidCommunity?

scidCommunity differs from upstream Scid by offering enhancements not present in the upstream repo. Enhancements include:

  • The Header Search dialogue has been improved with the addition of a new "Layouts" button at the lower left. This button replaces a "Save" button that has been disabled for years. The new button allows users to name, save and load sets of search parameters they use frequently.
  • The hotkey Alt + s has been added to invoke the Search button.
  • The Engine windows have been enhanced with new depth and move time input windows for limiting an engine's calculations. If users choose to use Scid's Save Options, the inputs will be saved as the defaults for future use.
  • A new Download TWIC Games option under the Tools menu that downloads' the most recent weekly games from TWIC and brings them into scidCommunity for filtering, merging with your database etc.
  • New buttons in the PGN Window:
  • Table Base looks up current position in the Lichess 7-man endgame table base
  • chess.com uploads the current game to Chess.com
  • lichess.org uploads the current game to Lichess.org
  • New (optional) "Sand" and "cobalt2" themes.
  • New light colored buttons added for use in the Engine and Analysis windows when using "dark" and "cobalt2" themes.
  • Implemented user request for better handling of long comments in the Game Info window.
  • Implemented user request to allow users to easily import their Lichess and chess.com games.
  • Based on user request, user can now limit the length of variations in the Analysis Engine annotation function.
  • Implemented user request to allow opening Lichess broadcast tournament games. If a game is ongoing, it will be updated every minute.
