That’s a fascinating set up you have; thanks for sharing. I do have a question about Scid. After you enter all the comments and such into the pgn file you’re creating, is there a way to print it out and or make a hard copy from SCID?

Good question. No not directly. Under "Tools" select Export current game or all filtered games to html or pgn. View the pgn file with a word processor and print it or the html with a browser and print it.

Uggh. I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer.
There's a nice freeware package -- called PGN Chessbook -- which will take a PGN file, allow the insertion of comments, alternative lines, and has a Stockfish-8 engine in it. One of the things I love about it is that it will print out the game, very nicely, with (and I love this part) an option to print out positional diagrams on any move(s) you choose.
Here's an example. (Of course, Scid does so much more than PGN Chessbook -- but I really wish it could do this!. And so, for my needs, I end up using both packages, which is a pain. I was hoping that SCID could . . . . Alas)
sholom90 that looks good. I suppose you could load the pgn into Fritz or Chessbase and print also.

Thanks. I am completely unaware of printing capabilities of Fritz and Chessbase. Can you (or anyone) enlighten me?

Thanks I downloaded PGN Chessbook. It looks pretty nice for an older program.
Thank you for sharing it! It's two of my passions: chess and books. By the way, recently I started listening to books. I'm listening to https://freebooksummary.com/category/a-river-runs-through-it now, and that's so comfortable. But, to be honest, I didn’t understand it before
Thanks everyone for looking at my article. https://www.chesstech.info/2022/03/from-ebook-i-like-books-i-really-do.html
I haven't made an entry on my chesstech.info blog in a long time. I just finished a refresh of many of the posts and published a new post about studying from a book. I hope someone might find it helpful. https://www.chesstech.info/2022/03/from-ebook-i-like-books-i-really-do.html
