What is Scid vs. PC?

The Chess Database and Playing Program is a comprehensive suite of tools for chess enthusiasts, allowing users to create expansive databases, analyze games using powerful chess engines, and engage in online play through the Free Internet Chess Server. Originally developed by Shane Hudson, the program has since benefited from contributions from Pascal Georges and other collaborators. A usability-focused fork, Scid vs. PC, is maintained by Stevenaaus and has been tested with the impressive four-million-game ICOfY database
