I'll pay. >Jose did look nice, but doesnt work in my experience. Yes, I agree that jose has some bugs, I'm planning to file some bug reports also. If you are looking for at database program, Scid is very good and free. I will use jose mainly for playing against an engine and analysing games. I'm not a fanatic as to demand all programs to be open-source. But in this case I don't know of any commercial programs for Linux that offer a nice GUI for an engine. I don't want to go into a discussion about open-source and closed software, but just say that I disagree that commercial software is generally better. Martin.
