PGN beginner

Hey everyone! Very new to the chess world and working on learning PGN formatting. I really like the evaluations chess.con gives and tried to create a file for it. When I upload it, the game review gets stumped.

If you all see any issues with my pgn I would love to learn my mistakes!

There are various options when you are trying to upload a pgn. Cut and paste is the easiest but when it doesn't work, the best thing is to enter the game by hand. On the analysis page, you can make moves and check your score.

I found out that your 22nd move was the problem. You had lost one knight on your 9th move and the other on move 16.

That left no knight available to take on d5 on move 22.

The poor computer was unable to figure out what it was meant to do.

I figured out that you meant to use your bishop on that move and take a pawn on f5.

Aside from that, the rest of the moves work.
