Shane Hudson is the author of Scid, an OpenSource Chess Database application. Since 1999, Scid has been gradually acquiring new features and is now a very sophisticated Chess tool comparable to many commercial applications.

You can use Scid to build your own personal game collections or use collections available on the Internet. Shane has taken great care to create a huge, high-quality 1,000,000+ master-game database available from his web-site. Using data from this database and the features of Scid, he creates his daily articles publishing them on the Net. The main Opening Report best illustrates the analytical power of Scid - make sure you view the full report by clicking on the link at the top of the daily article.
