About

scidCommunity is a community-driven fork of Scid (Shane's Chess Information Database), focused on adding enhancements while maintaining full compatibility with existing Scid databases. It allows you to store, organize, and search through large collections of chess games with support for any compatible UCI chess engine.

Key enhancements in scidCommunity:

  • Engine analysis controls with configurable depth and time limits
  • Integrated TWIC (The Week in Chess) game downloads
  • Direct game uploads to Lichess and Chess.com from the PGN window
  • Tablebase integration via Lichess 7-man endgames
  • Additional theme options (Sand and cobalt2)
  • New feature to open Lichess broadcast tournament games
  • Improved Header Search with saveable search layouts for frequently-used parameters

This fork welcomes community suggestions and aims to be responsive to user feature requests. If you've wished for specific functionality in your chess database workflow, scidCommunity may be for you.
