Re: [Scidvspc-users] Searching for a position for White

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Currently, it is not possible to do *exactly* as you wish ... AFAIK

but using the Search->Material/Pattern, you can set up to 10 exact position
matches
(on the right hand side), which will likely find all the matches you are
after anyway if
used carefully.

Ignoring one side in position search may not be too technical to
implement... but it might be ugly, and testing would be a little onerous
too, so not sure i want to look at coding it. Someone else ?

S.A.
