Scid outputs this analysis of a PGN file using the Stockfish engine:

enter image description here

What does the D mean? And where (e.g. a web page) is this actually explained?

  • Are you using SCID? – Tony Ennis Oct 03 '16 at 22:56
  • This has nothing to do with Stockfish. It's the GUI that did that. – ABCD Oct 03 '16 at 23:49

    I think it means `diagram`? – ABCD Oct 04 '16 at 01:45
  • I've added an answer to your question. In addition maybe it's useful for you to know about another special comment: those with the format `****D{d} {n}->{m}`. These are tactical problems detected by Scid, where `{d}` is the dificulty of the problem, and `{n}` and `{m}` the evaluation of the position before and after the last move. When such a problem is found the game is tagged as "Tactical" (`T`) and a database with tactical games can be used with Scid's tactical training feature. – sharcashmo Oct 04 '16 at 11:02

This is a special mark meaning diagram. When you export the game into a PDF/LaTeX file positions after moves marked with D are rendered in the document.

The only documentation I've found is https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/HowToExportGames/. Scid vs PC documentation maybe is clearer http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/doc/Export.htm. But documentation is actually poor, I discovered this feature just testing the Export to LaTeX feature.
