You can click on a variation to enter it, or press "v". The first will be named v1, the second v2, etc. When a move has variations, they are shown in. There are keyboard shortcuts and a list of common actions in the. The buttons above the board with a "V" symbol, and commands in, can be used to create, navigate and edit variations. What Are the Editing Actions? Are there Editing Shortcuts? See the Exporting help page for more details.Īlso note, that Scid is capable of handling the move Z0 as a null move, a notation that is common in some commercial chess applications. Note that null moves are not a part of the PGN standard, so if you export games with null moves to a PGN file, SCID will provide (among other export options) an option to preserve null moves or convert them to comments for compatibility with other software. A null move is displayed as "-" and can be inserted using the mouse by making an illegal move of capturing one king with the other, or from the keyboard by typing "-" (two minus signs). You can do this by making a null move between 14.Bd3 and 15.Bxh7+, in the above example. For example, you may want to add the move 14.Bd3 to a variation and point out that it threatens 15.Bxh7+ Kxh7 16.Ng5+ with an attack. Sometimes, you may find it useful in a variation to skip over a move for one side. Variations can contain comments and even recursively have sub-variations. A comment before the first move of the game is printed as text before the start of the game. Variations are alternative move sequences.Įach move can have more than one annotation symbol, but only one comment. To add symbols and comments to a game, use. Symbols are used to evaluate a position ( +-, +/-, +=, =, etc) or a move ( !), ?. In a future release, SCID might be able to let you do this, but for now, work with a, OK? What Annotations Can I Add?
