Scid's speed is due to its storing chess games in its own compact database format (si4), but it also supports the popular [[portable game notation]].

== HistoryRelated software ==

There are multiple projects related to Scid, all using the si4 database format. [http://ChessDB<ref name="chessdb.sourceforge.net"/ ChessDB]> was the first Scid fork, but had little longevity or technical novelty.
