ChessDB, a chess database and GUI based on Shane Hudson's final version 3.6.1 of Shane's Chess Information Database (SCID) from March 02, 2004 [1] with its file triples of indices, names and games. More than 90% of the code in ChessDB is taken from SCID. David Kirkby started the ChessDB project on SourceForge on December 13, 2006 [2] , with others soon contributing. Beside the addition of UCI engine support, statistical analysis of chess moves and PGN download from different sources are the most notable changes compared to SDIC 3.6 [3] . The following continuation of the SCID development by former ChessDB short time contributer Pascal Georges [4], caused some unpleasant quarrels [5] [6] .
