'''ChessX''',<br/>
a free open source chess [[Databases|database]] and [[GUI]] for [[Windows]], [[Linux]] and [[Mac OS|Mac OS X]] licensed under the [[Free Software Foundation#GPL|GNU General Public License v2]].
Initially, ChessX has started as a continuation of [[SCID]], but after some development, it was decided to break away from the [[Tcl-Tk|Tcl/Tk]] code and start to program in [[Cpp|C++]] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28software%29 Qt]
<ref>[http://www.chessteacherlessons.com/scid-chessdb-and-chessx/ Scid, ChessDB and ChessX - Chess Teacher Lessons]</ref>.
Initially developed by [[Michal Rudolf]], current developers and maintainers include [[James Coons]] and [[Jens Nissen]] <ref>[http://chessx.sourceforge.net/node/7 Development | ChessX]</ref>.
=GUI=
The ChessX [[GUI]] implements a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_%28GUI%29 tabbed document interface], the frame-window with caption, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_bar menu]- and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toolbar toolbars], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_bar status bar] at the bottom. A document window represents a game, and consists of a [[GUI#BoardWindow|board window]] with configurable [[GUI#NotationWindow|notation pane]], game list of the current database, [[Opening Book|opening]] tree and [[ECO]] panes, up to two analyze panes, and a database list window.
=Database=
ChessX has an abstract ''Database'' C++ class, providing a common interface with methods for loading and saving of games, and for performing searches and queries. The concrete classes ''MemoryDatabase'' and ''PgnDatabase'', derived from ''Database'', implement the interface for [[Portable Game Notation|PGN]] file based databases. Large PGN databases are indexed keeping persistent index files (.cxi) for faster re-opening and search.
=Features=
