Announcing BHV bughouse-viewer

Nice!! I checked it out with one of my games. Seems to work well!, including getting the times right.
(Which cheez.com's Bughouse archive games never seemed to get right.)
Thanks!
Chess.com probably still hasn't discovered the 20-year-old .bpgn file format, which accounts for time per move in millliseconds. They certainly haven't figured out a proper FEN format for crazyhouse or bughouse games, which is why they have that threefold repetition bug where you can lose material over each repetition iteration (for example, you start with 3 pawns in hand, and lose them one at a time, yet the server considers the position repeated). Figuring this sort of thing out would fix probably a half-dozen bugs in their code, but bughouse and crazyhouse are not enough of a priority to implement it.

Everything changes and it is quite possible that bughouse will appear on some other site with a better implementation.
Hey!
I have a bughouse game viewer and annotator website (you can replay games, add comments and variations, but mostly just for viewing past games because it never really worked on chess.com).
It is more or less working now (chess.com doesn't provide the necessary information about the partner game, so there are games where it can't find the partner board, and there are games where it shows nonsense for partner board).
Anyway, here it is
