This causes Scid to print a diagram of the current postion if you export 
to LaTeX or HTML. (See NAG values in the online help, D is $201)

This is a comment from Crafty and if I remember correctly it just states 
that Crafty hit his hashtable and thus does not explore it further as 
this position was already evaluated.

If you want to do a longer (sometimes technical) read on crafty you can 
find it's main documentation in main.c of the source distribution. It 
starts around line 18 and goes down till the line

int main(int argc, char **argv)

HTH.

Please check out "Opening training" in Scids online help on how it is 
meant to work. If you've open questions please ask. If the manual is 
missleading I'm open to improvements. (Manuals from the users are 
usually better than those done by developers, plus I wrote those pages 
for code that was actually done by Pascal, so I might have missed details.)
