Upload old games not played on chess.com

Is there a way to upload old games not played on chess.com and have them accesible, not just vía link?

Thanks

You can put them into the Analysis Board, run analysis and save it. That can be accessed from the Saved Analysis link. They aren't searchable or anything.

 

My understanding is the site is working on a feature to allow you to store offline games, but I haven't heard anything on when it might be available and I'm guessing it will be a premium only feature when it goes live.

Thanks.

The Analysis Board doesn't accept PGNs created from some other chess engines. 

Those have to be manually put into the Analysis Board move by move. 

Tedious, but it is nice that once you put in an old PGN it is saved and you can simply rename it when you hit the "Saved Analysis" games button.

Copy and paste.

I've done that.  Chess.com says it doesn't recognize that format. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have every game from my former chess app site copied and pasted. I have to manually input them.

 

I sent them a photo of the error message two months ago.

I just did it. It worked.

I copied and paste a game from the other chess site I'm not supposed to name. (This will be a running joke, I'll Instant Message you that site.)

 

 

I've been over this with chess.com 

The chess engine I used has to be inputted manually. If you want, when I have time I'll show you the message via screenshot. Happens on my app and the actual website (I use the chess.com website because the app is too glitchy right now.)

My point in general is that if @sslgz has any trouble, he/she can always manually input. 

😉

long_quach I sent you a request.
