  The [analysis window](http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/doc/Analysis.htm) of [Scid vs Pc](http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/) offers the possibility of analyzing games in batches (same for the older Scid). For this, you need to check the option "Batch annotation" and introduce the number of games to analyze, starting from the present one.
  
  Then, the program will evaluate the position at each move and give you different information depending on how you configured the analysis. Typically it will show you the evaluation for each move and mark blunders. To identify blunders, the program will calculate the change in evaluation score after each move. If the variation is greater than the blunder threshold (that can be defined by the user), it will be marked as a blunder. The program can also mark missed mates, tactical exercises and add variations.
