Does Anybody know how to have opening names show in Scid vs PC?

Hi,

I've never really "studied" the opening, I am familiar with some and their names however, this is largley due to a useful feature within Chessmaster, as you open a PGN or play moves in the status bar at the bottom it would tell you the name of the opening and also when the opening book has ended. I liked this as it got me learning what the various openings are called.

Anyway, I have used Scid vs PC recently and like it very much. It seems to do everything I want except for this one thing. I cannot see how to have the names of the openings showing as I either play moves or cycle through a PGN of a game I have just played.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Thank you in advance

Selecting and opening the game (e.g. from the game list), &

1.) Windows / Show game info

2.) Game / Identify Opening (then it's name appears in the Info window).

Hope it helps.

You might find the "Database / Maintenance / ECO Classify Games..."  and

"Game / Find Novelty" and

"Database / Import File(s) of PGN Games..." options also useful.

Fantastic thank you, this has driven me up the wall recently. I was so certain Scid vs PC would be able to do it but on mine it was not working. The game info window was not showing no matter what I did. After a fresh install it is now showing and doing exactly what I wanted.

Thank you for your response.
