The Fair Play Policy - Leaving Abortion Behind! Chess.com encourages players to be kind and show good sportsmanship. Our Fair Play policy expects that players will not: intentionally disconnect during games stall to make opponents wait unnecessarily frivolously abort games because they don't want to play black, etc. If your account is flagged for breaking this policy your account will be restricted. You will still be able to play games with friends or accept direct challenges, but you will not be able to create or accept open challenges until you play more games that follow the fair play policy. The above portion of this forum is quoted directly from Chess.com and its staff! As you may, or may not, know, thousands of Chess.com players intentionally abort games due to an unwanted opponent, etc... This is an important Chess.com regulation, which I hope all of you abide by! Thank you for reading! Yours Truly,~ CalbaMan

Insert chess diagram, game, or puzzle Use this Chess.com exclusive feature to insert chess diagrams, replayable games, or interactive puzzles. Click the chessboard icon to open the Chess.com editor. You can choose 3 types of positions to insert: Diagram Displays a simple static diagram - pieces do not move Useful for showing just one key position Game or sequence of moves Start with any position - from the beginning of game or in the middle Allows viewers to interactively play through a complete game or set of moves Puzzle, problem, or challenge to be solved Start with any position and end with any solution Lets users try and solve for the correct move You can also choose 3 different starting methods. You should use the most detailed starting information possible to save yourself time recreating the game or position. Blank - a new blank chessboard with no moves made FEN string - a series of letters/numbers that describe a static position PGN file - a text file the describes the details, moves, and comments of a game or series of moves Once you have started to create a chess position (or game or puzzle) you will see a set of tabs at the top right. Those allow you to customize your chess position. Board Editor: The board editor is where you can move pieces freely and create whatever setup you want. You can drag pieces on and off of the board! You can also add a diagram caption (for static diagrams) and fill out other details of the position. Finishing your changes on the Board Editor is a necessary step to moving on to the Game Editor. Game Editor: The game editor allows you to view, edit, add, and change the moves and comments in a game. It is basically a PGN editor with added functionality. You can just drag and drop the pieces on the board. You can also insert comments before or after moves. Set Begin - mark the position in the game where you want the game to start Set Focus - mark the position in the game where you want the game to first be shown when loaded Set End - mark the position in the game where you want the game to end Promote Variation - make the current variation tree the primay variation Delete Rest - remove all further moves in that variation tree Game Details: The game details include information about the players and the event. Often times this will be pre-filled if you use an existing PGN file. Design: These settings allow you to decide how you want the pieces to look, what colors the board should be, how large you want the board, which side of the page or document it should be on, and if coordinates should be shown. Preview: The preview pane gives you a fairly accurate rendition of how the diagram will look in your document. You can move back and forth between tabs to improve your diagram or game. Once you are satisfied, you must click the Insert button to embed the chess position in your document. If you want to edit your position, just select it and then click on the chessboard icon again.
