ChessX Description
Open Source Chess Database for Linux ChessX is a free Open Source Chess Database for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. The project uses Qt library to create modern, portable graphical interface. Current development is aimed at providing full featured PGN database. Afterwards we will add more flexible native format. HistoryThe project was started after development of Scid halted and contact with the author was lost. Initially, ChessX was to be a community maintained version of Scid called "New Scid".
