A free and open source chess database application for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

SCID Recast is a deterministic, modern architecture modernizing the core database and indexing subsystem from first principles. It preserves compatibility with existing si5 databases while restructuring the core into a clean, modular C library (libscidcore) with well‑defined boundaries for database, game model, search, engine integration, and metadata. The project emphasizes reproducibility, explicit invariants, a clear error model, and a stable foundation for supporting archival workflows and future tooling.

C/CIF is an interchange format for chess applications. This format is supporting all features of a chess application - PGN does not provide this - and can be used to transfer chess archives without any loss via an application independent format. C/CIF is supporting two formats: the binary format CCIF, and the human readable format CIF (in XML).

Quantum Chess provides an alternative to traditional chess ai which is based on branching, iterations, and historical plays databases. Instead Quantum Chess models each piece as a wave function between other pieces on the board allowing the discovery of optimal continuous paths. Please see the discussion page on where to begin. The theoretical advantage of Quantum Chess is that it automatically prunes redundant moves unlike iterative/branching models while maintaining strategy-like behavior completely unlike both chess AIs and humans. ...
