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.
