  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.

I'm closing this RFP since there is no point in packaging a clone scid 
that is dead upstream since 2007 - while scid itself is still actively 
maintained.

Feel free to reopen this bug if I missed anything.
