The move-scores of chess games that have been played are absolutely Public Domain.

No copyright.

Textual notes (ie: analysis by some speciific player) should always be credited... sometimes with a single word.

Eg: "This line is beautifully refuted by 14. Bh6!! (Fischer)".

That’s correct. Except for one nuance.

It should be: “This line is beautifully refuted by 14.Bh6!!” (Fischer). The reference is not part of the quotation, but it is part of the sentence.

Anyone can post a position from a game, but if the image and text exactly matches another’s post, you should credit the source.

Something to notice: whoever created the post knows the difference between a dash and a hyphen. Less than 5% of people possess this knowledge.
