In hindsight, I like the idea - it will be part of the 1.70 release.

SPACEBAR for pasting best move from engine analysis;MOVES FROM ENGINE ANALYSIS to be pasted;IMPLEMENTATION of db3

I know most developers are not too happy to implement features from other programs, but I still think there are three things (at the very least) to improve CHESSX a lot ** (I refer to code actual for 01.03.2026)
1ST FEATURE REQUEST:SPACEBAR for adding move considered best by engine A super convenient old feature of CHESSBASE. It allows to add moves to game text way faster than trying to click on "+" every time
2ND FEATURE REQUEST: FLEXIBILITY OF PASTEABLE MOVES IN ENGINE ANALYSIS In my opinion, making every single move in engine analysis pasteable is a great idea (a great feature already present in SCID). For instance, you want to copy only first three moves of engine analysis to the text of the game, not the whole line. Currently, you have to add the whole long line, strip it... A bit annoying, in my opinion
3RD FEATURE REQUEST: IMPLEMENTATION OF SQLITE DB3** I know we already have CTG, ABK and LICHESS MASTERS DATABASE , but those don't work at all or work with problems at the time when this comment was written. BIG PGN databases are painfully slow and cxi index files don't help much, So what about SQLITE db3 files (EnCroissant feature). Even multimillion pgn. databases are fast with this feature in EnCroissant.
Thanks for your attention!

I am a bit at a loss with this request - if there is an existing working package - why should I bother to make changes?
Or asked the other way around: if it is not working - what will need to be addressed?
I actually do not support Unix packages as whenever I make one change for one distro, I immediately get complaints from other distributions.

Solitaire chess where one can see the board and play thru a game, but the moves (pgn) are hidden, allowing the person to guess the next move without see the game's pgn. Is this a possibilty for ChessX?
