<h1>Game Flags</h1>
<p>
A <b><i><font color="#990000">flag</font></i></b> is an indicator of some chess characteristic
that can be turned on or off for each game in the database.
There are 13 user-settable flags that you can directly set for
each game. Of these, only the Delete flag has any special
significance: games with the Delete flag turned on are marked
for deletion and will removed when the database is
<a href="Compact.html">compacted</a>.
</p>
<p>
The other 12 user-settable flags and their symbols are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>White opening (W)</li>
<li>Black opening (B)</li>
<li>Middlegame (M)</li>
<li>Endgame (E)</li>
<li>Novelty (N)</li>
<li>Pawn structure (P)</li>
<li>Tactics (T)</li>
<li>Queenside play (Q)</li>
<li>Kingside play (K)</li>
<li>Brilliancy (!)</li>
<li>Blunder (?)</li>
<li>User-defined (U)</li>
</ul>
<p>
A flag can be set for the current game, all filter games, or all
database games using the <a href="Maintenance.html">maintenance</a> window.
</p>
<p>
You can use a <a href="Searches.html\#Header">header search</a> to find all
games in a database that have a particular flag turned on or off,
or use flags as part of more complex searches.
</p>
<p>
Since all the user-settable flags (except the Delete flag) have
no significance to Scid, you can use them for any purpose that
suits your needs. For example, you could use the Kingside (K)
flag for kingside pawn storms, or kingside heavy piece attacks,
or even for endgames with all pawns on the kingside.
