SCID or ChessDB, Which is Better?

Postby ChessKnight » 15 Feb 2009, 00:49

I was using SCID for a while. Recently I came across ChessDB which is 90% based on SCID.
Anyone here figured out which is better? and why?
Any good reason for dropping SCID and start using ChessDB?
Anyone knows how to turn-on Book Tuning option in Tolls menu in ChessDB?

They are both "forks" of the Shane Hudson's "Scid". I prefer the current "Scid". But you should try both and decide for yourself.

Norm Pollock:

Thanks for inputs.

I tried both and like SCID much coz we can not tune opening book in ChessDB, this function seems to be disabled.
I am not sure about latest release of SCID, can we tune books in latest release of SCID too?
By the way 40H command line utilities are offering much features and more faster too!
