  Description     : Excellent chess database and analysis software. GPL successor to dead scid package

(Include the long description here.)

Nearly one year ago a volunteer packaged this software and uploaded it 
in search of a sponsor. The software is excellent, the package works and 
it is really disappointing that it did not get sponsored. See bug 408118
If there are chess-loving DDs who read this, would one of them please 
sponsor the package? 

It is one of the best chess database/analysis programs, built on the 
dead package scid but with major extensions and improvements. The 
current situation (no package in Debian) seems like an easy 
win for the Debian community.
