Scid is a chess database application; with it you can browse databases of
|
||
|
|
chess games, edit games and search for games by various criteria.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Scid uses its own special three-file database format which is very compact
|
||
|
|
and fast, but it can convert to and from the standard PGN (Portable Game
|
||
|
|
Notation) format. Scids PGN window displays the text of the current game in
|
||
|
|
PGN format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use Scid to add chess games to a database, using the keyboard or mouse
|
||
|
|
to enter moves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use Scid as a PGN file browser, by pasting PGN text into Scids
|
||
|
|
Import window or by opening a PGN file in Scid. However, PGN files cannot be
|
||
|
|
edited by Scid (it opens them read-only) and they use more memory and are
|
||
|
|
slower to load, so for large PGN files it is recommended that you create a
|
||
|
|
Scid database from them first with the pgnscid utility.
