Thank you,

Very good. I noted that Ruffian 2.00 (or its update) is now offered at 30 Euros.
A Scid cleaned and organised database CD-ROM from the Scid author is equivalent
to ~ 17 Euros donation and the Scid program is free. Then, it comes convenient
to use this combination as is the Scid program, the database and the strong
engine. One thing, I do not understand why the SCID author does not create the
possibility to load UCI engines also. Is that so difficult? I cannot say.
Regards
Anton
