SYNOPSIS

       scid

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly Shane's Chess Information Database.  This manual page
       was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original  program  does  not
       have  a  manual  page.  It does have documentation in a README file, which is available as
       /usr/share/doc/scid/README.gz.  It  also  has  extensive  HTML  documentation,  which   is
       available at /usr/share/doc/scid/html/Index.html.

       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 it own  compact  and  fast
       database format, but can convert to and from PGN.

       The command 'scid' starts the graphical user interface.
