Thanks for reply Rooperi but I cant get the analysis to work.
It just analyses each move but gives no report or annotations
SCID vs PC
Sort:
@analyzethispgn : what options do you set before analysing the game with scid? if possible upload final pgn which u get after analyses is over.

Don't expect a verbose report on each move from Stockfish. It'll rate each move and suggest variations, but nothing more.

The sizes now supported are 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160
Sizes of > 80 are scaled x 2 from a smaller size.. except you can do them properly in your custom pieces if you wish.
What do I have to do to make it use the 90 and 100 sizes? I've included them in the FritzSWS.txt file, but when I make the board any bigger than 80 the pieces turn to the blurry resized pieces.
Towards the bottom of the start up window I've added a command line interface to the gui. There, type "set boardSize" in it to see the board size.
Have a look at "proc setPieceData" in scid.gui/scid for some hints about debugging what is happening.
Ive taken a screenshot of the annotation settings. Summary here as its hard to read settings below.
Blunder threshold 1.0
Depth 30
All moves
When move is not the best
Moves by both sides
Add annotator to comment
Add annotator tag
Mark tactical exercises
there is no OK button at the bottom of my annotator window. maybe thats the problem
Haha... I *will* fix this window being too tall for 4.12
Try selecting a small font Options->Fonts->Regular
@ analyse this pgn : even if u cant see the ok button, once u hit the enter button, scid vs pc starts the analyses.
@ stevenaus : a request to you, why cant the games be edited and saved in pgn format, rather in si4 format. please make that option to edit games in pgn format and save in pgn format. Second: how about adding borders to the chess board?

Sorry... too much hassle for zero benefit.
Learn how to use si4 bases if you want to use Scid. It is 100x faster and more compact. You can always export to PGN afterwards.
Maybe a border is possible though. Will have a look.
after creating those settings I hit the annotate button twice and it starts analyzing.
the problem is I get no report of analysis rundown. at the end all that is displayed is the last move with recommended alternatives.
when i switch to the pgn window the pgn is the same as at the start in that it contains no annotations or recommended variations
@ stevenaus : Thank you for the border.regarding usage of si4, i am using it. But sometimes, only single games need to be analysed and annotated, and they cannot be saved in original format, i have to import them to scid database, i.e si4. but those bases contain few games. thats why i requested for that feature.
Thanks.
Any single game can be saved straight away via File->Save PGN
@ stevenaus : thank you

Thanks, just changed <= 80 to <= 100 and it works fine.
Ok, yes... That is the code in 4.11. The code in subversion works and is
- if {$size <= 80} {
+ if {[info exists ::pieceImageData($font,$size)]} {
Thanks.
I downloaded SCID last night and messed around with it analyzing a game for about 30 minutes and I have to say I don't think it's for me. Once I pressed analyze it was crunching numbers and I really couldn't tell what was going on at all, aside from where it showed who had the advantage. For example, I was playing white and for the first few moves it was showing me having a fraction of a pawn advantage which I believe is typical for white until I made a bad pawn move and it dropped to show an advantage for black. It helped me see my bad moves based on that.
But what I'm looking for is a very user friendly program that I can step through move-by-move and see in each spot how strong my move was and all the moves I could have made that were better. Anyone know of something like that?
Looks like exactly what I had in mind! I will download it
I have John Bains chess tactics for students book.
Is it posssible to create a database of the problems and use it in the training section.
can the next move(correct answer) be marked using the coloured arrows in scid.
its time consuming going through the book page by page which doesnt help with repetition training
