Scid on the go

Scid on the go is a powerful Chrome extension that lets chess enthusiasts easily browse and analyze Scid (Shane's Chess Information Database) files, even those containing millions of games. With rich features including header search by player, site, event, date, ECO, and ELO ratings, users can quickly find games or positions of interest.

The extension supports advanced game searches by material and position, favorites for quick access, and clipboard operations for copying or pasting games and positions. Scid on the go offers an interactive board with editing and variation support, plus autoplay to replay games with customizable delays.

For deeper analysis, it includes Stockfish 10 by default and supports additional UCI chess engines. Users can import PGN files from the internet or local storage, enter study mode, and even mark games for deletion (requiring desktop Scid for cleanup). Integration with chess OCR apps and internet PGN downloads from The Week in Chess make this tool a comprehensive solution for playing, studying, and managing chess databases on the go.

Licensed under GNU GPL v2, the extension blends open source contributions to bring a sleek, feature-rich chess experience on Chrome.
