Re: [Scidvspc-users] suggestion for Steven

[Aleksandar J. <jos...@gm...>]

I know that this looks difficult but...

To make scidvspc Nr.1 program on this planet

1) Premove option must be fully included, (even like on babas with multiple
moves<-), (even with playing with engines). Some of us plays for fun (me
for example) and don't take chess very seriously. I assume that 90%+ chess
players are like me.
1+) will hide for now, in future will tell you...
2) when playing on fics to disable any engine contact (only when playing,
not observing)

1) is Highly important
1+) secret
2) not so, in fact not important

Also till now discovered two engines with scalable rating, ufim8.02
(700-2000) and danasahz (500-2500). Both can be included in wb and uci mod.
