I'v just installed the scidb chess database, and I can't figure how to play against an engine from there.
Is this feature even supported ? If it is, how to use it ?

  • On this [page](http://scidb.sourceforge.net/wanted.html), you can see that Scidb is not intended to be used to play against an engine. – antoyo Mar 20 '15 at 15:42
  • @antoyo: Thanks a lot. So, what shall I use for game analysis and playing against the computer (and maybe online) ? – Amr Ayman Mar 20 '15 at 16:51
  • You can use `scidb` for game analysis (click on the train button in the board tab), `chessx` to play against the computer (and game analysis too) and `raptor chess interface` or `Jin` to play on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server). These softwares all work on Linux. Other software are availble on Windows and OS X. – antoyo Mar 20 '15 at 17:17
  • If it is not, try [Scid vs. PC](http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net). – user5649 Mar 20 '15 at 14:02

    @antoyo, why not post your comment(s) as an actual answer, since you've answered the OP's question? The site works best that way. – ETD Mar 20 '15 at 23:40
