With Scid you can maintain a database of chess games, search games by
|
|
many criteria, view graphical trends, and produce printable reports
|
|
on players and openings. There are many more features as well. With
|
|
Scid you can also play against various engines or on Internet (FICS).
|
|
|
|
To enjoy Scid at its full power, you should download these files:
|
|
The Player Information / spellcheck data:
|
|
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/ratings_2008_4.zip>
|
|
Photo data:
|
|
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/photos2007.zip>
|
|
Scidlet opening books:
|
|
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/scidlet40k.zip>
|
|
Place them in the same directory of the source and the will be included
|
|
in the package.
|
|
|
|
Please see the manpage (man scid) for Slackware-specific information
|
|
regarding the opening books permissions.
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild does not build the two engines shipped with Scid, togaII
|
|
and phalanx, because it places them in a non-standard directory and they
|
|
are full-featured stand-alone programs. You should instead use the build
|
|
scripts provided for them here at SlackBuilds.org.
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies (for sound, advanced graphics and correspondence
|
|
chess): tDOM, the Img package (tkimg) and Snack sound package. These
|
|
packages are *not* required for the build and are searched and loaded
|
|
when the program starts. If not found, Scid simply disables these
|
|
features.
