However, in short, a general description of the format: https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Scid
and the biggest limitations is that the pieces (excluding queens) cannot reach more than sixteen different squares. For example a rook in a1 can reach a2,a3...a8 and b1,c1...h1 = 14 squares. An invalid move, maybe played in a kids game, like Ra1c2 cannot be stored in a Scid database. Castling when the King or the Rook are not in their standard initial position is also considered an invalid move. That's why importing a pgn with chess960 games fails.
