scidCommunity is a community-driven fork of Scid (Shane's Chess Information Database),
focused on adding enhancements while maintaining full compatibility with existing Scid databases.
It allows you to store, organize, and search through large collections of chess games with
support for any compatible UCI chess engine.

Key enhancements in scidCommunity:
- Improved Header Search with saveable search layouts for frequently-used parameters
- Engine analysis controls with configurable depth and time limits
- Integrated TWIC (The Week in Chess) game downloads
- Direct game uploads to Lichess and Chess.com from the PGN window
- Tablebase integration via Lichess 7-man endgames with auto-play finish game feature
- ChessDB.cn engine tree integration for position analysis
- Direct import of Lichess and Chess.com games by username
- Open and auto-update live Lichess broadcast tournament games
- Configurable variation length limits in engine annotation
- Additional theme options (Sand and cobalt2)
- Automatic 2-fold and 3-fold repetition detection
- Play/Tactical Game feature now works with any configured UCI engine

This fork welcomes community suggestions and aims to be responsive to user feature requests.
