It seems to me that SCID should output the NAG, not a "D", which is not a
defined symbol in any source I can find.  Thus the line should be:

7. Bxc6   Bxc6 $201

Not

7. Bxc6   Bxc6 D

8.2.3.8: SAN move suffix annotations

Import format PGN allows for the use of traditional suffix annotations for
moves.  There are exactly six such annotations available: "!", "?", "!!",
"!?",
"?!", and "??".  At most one such suffix annotation may appear per move,
and if
present, it is always the last part of the move symbol.
---------------------------------------------------

Even if "D" were allowed, it should follow the move text directly, no
blank.  See section 8.2.3.7 of the same document for uses of "Export and
import format".

I have found this SCID output to fail in a number of parsers. It is very
annoying.
