Hey, I wanted to post a game to get some analysis of it, but I cannot figure out how.

I know this has to have been asked before, but I have tried several different ways to search for a topic on it, and all of them have come up blank, so apologies if I missed it.

click "post new forum topic" and then in the chat box there is a picture of a chess board.  click on that to insert a game.  the program is pretty self explanatory once you get to it.  i know there is an easier way to post games than putting the moves in one by one, but i dont know how to do it.

this new developement is better.  i found out how to put the moves in automatically instead of manually, which is what i have been doing.  first go to the game you want and find the PGN icon (i think it is under moves) download that and open it in word.  copy it then paste it under PGN file in the program i showed you earlier

 -- as a side note change the players name so it doesnt rub in the defeat... 

That's a very peculiar custom that is arising on chess.com... I don't know of it being done anywhere else.  Everywhere else you see chess games with both players named, when the name is known. Just my opinion... I think we should live with our losses and our victories...

Mine is actually a draw, assuming he accepts. I see no reason why he won't, but I will still refrain from posting the game till he does.
