Debian includes scid, which is great chess playing, analysis and
database software, but development stopped years ago. A very good
successor (or fork) is chessdb http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/
A year ago a Debian volunteer packaged it and sought a sponsor. In the
end, the package did not get a sponsor who could take the package into
Debian. See bug 408118
Debian would be even better with this software. I've moved from Windows,
and knowing that Chessdb is GPL I was surprised that it was not in
Debian.
If you know of a chess-loving DD who could sponsor it, chess loving
Debian users will be very pleased.
regards
Tim Richardson.
