I am trying to post a game here.  I have a .pgn generated by chessbase, and since that didn't work I typed the relevant analysis into the chess.com game archive and attempted to generate a .pgn from that, which also didn't work, so I tried a FEN, which also didn't work.

Is there some dark secret that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Could you post the exact pgn text here? Maybe I could identify what is wrong with it.

I copy and pasted it exactly into the analysis board and it works. If you are on a computer (diagrams don't appear on mobile), then here is the diagram I got:

Interesting. Not sure why it wouldn't work for me. The post shows, but without the diagram, when I do it. From a PC, not a mobile.

Assuming you aren't doing it wrong, then perhaps it is a chess.com bug or something.

Swamp_Varmint

Quite possible I'm doing it wrong. My assumption at the moment is maybe I'm typing my comment/question in a place which is being interpretted as part of the .pgn file and thereby corrupting it. I will try again.

Just so we aren't notifying all who may post in this thread: you can private message me if you like and we can perhaps figure out where you are going wrong.

lol...now I can't even try again "can't post a new topic that often." ok...I'll just go play and maybe try tomorrow. thanks!
