Which database for FRC games?

Postby Volker Pittlik » 30 Jul 2006, 09:43

Playing around with FRC engines I noticed I don't have a proper database for it.

Taking a PGN for a FRC game in UCI style for example:

[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "vlk-ubuntu"]
[Date "2006.07.29"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Glaurung 1.2.1"]
[Black "Shredder Classic 1.3"]
[Result "0-1"]
[TimeControl "180+3"]
[Variant "fischerandom"]
[FEN "nbrqknbr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/NBRQKNBR w HChc - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]

h5 45. Kb2 Re8 46. Bd4 e3 47. Nxf3 Bxf3 48. Bc3
{White resigns} 0-1


I noticed Scid is confused by the HChc tag. The test version of Shredder even avoids to notice that there is game at all.

I can same the games in simple text files and make a table in a spreadsheet of course. A database is more comfortable obviously.

Someone has to recommend one? It should support the UCI style notation.
