libscid is a C++20 library extracted from Scid/ScidUp for applications that need chess game, PGN, database, ECO and spelling functionality without depending on a desktop application.

Public Libraries

LibScid::Core provides board primitives, positions, moves, games, movetext, PGN support, notation and shared chess value types.
LibScid::Database provides SCID-family database storage, indexes, namebases, filters, searches, opening-tree statistics and game load/save workflows.
LibScid::Eco provides ECO code parsing and opening-book lookup.
LibScid::Spelling provides name normalisation and spelling-file support for database-oriented workflows.

Starting Points

Use scid::core::Game for an editable chess game model.
Use scid::core::Position for board state, legal move handling and FEN/UCI position support.
Use scid::database::scidBaseT for database sessions.
Use scid::eco::Book for ECO opening lookup.
Use scid::spelling::NameNormalizer for spelling-file-backed name handling.
