.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly 
.B 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.
.PP

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.
