I want to use Chess.com to enter games that I played and then send those games to a friend. I know I can enter a game using the analysis board, but I don’t see a way to save those games as animated GIFs, which I can apparently do with games in my archive. Is there a way to enter a game and send it to someone as an animated GIF? (My friend is also a Chess.com member, in case that matters.) Thanks!

I don’t see the GIF option in the analysis board.
You could post your game to your chess.com blog just like games are posted in forum threads.
Why would you want to send a game as a gif?

I didn’t want that, but I needed some way to make the game appear to my friend as automatically as possible. Now I have learned how to set up a blog here, containing replayable games, so I’m all set.

Thanks. I didn’t know about blogs here, but that is the perfect solution to my problem, so I have set one up.
I'm not sure I understand the GIF's, and it seems like you've found your solution, but I just recently sent someone an annotated game as a message. In the message box (using the browser version) you can set up a game as usual. I hope this is of some additional help.
