Hi I was wondering if there are game replay tools such as the one above that can be used outside of this forum. For example to post a game on a blog or a website?

If not this specific one is there something similar I could be directed to.

Thank you

oh p.s any comments on my first game here would be appreciated if possibleSmile

That's a nice game!  I'm sorry but I don't understand your question.  But in all areas, you can post chess diagrams.

No one is going to arrest you for posting a game here, but if you look under "Forums" you will see a section called "Game Analysis". I think that's the place you were looking for.

Nice play. I think white could have nabbed a pawn on move 17 with Qxd5.

 

I also wonder if there's something with 18. Qa6+ and if 18. ... Kb8 19. Ra3.

 

On move 19, 19. Qa6+ Kb7 20. Qe2 is like the game, but now black can't defend the bishop with Kd8. If 19. ... Kd8, then just 29. Qxa7.

 I didn't notice that, It will have delayed the lining up of my rooks and queen but it is a pivotal pawn. It will have been a hard decision.

I noticed this myself with a lesser opponent I will have given it ago but this guy was very good at backing up his pieces and I don't think he will have made the error of moving his king to B8.

 Sorry i didn't put it very clearly as am not sure of the correct name for these chess diagrams.

I'm asking if there is anyway of using these diagrams offsite.

Or is there a website that can convert PGNs into playback diagrams such as the one showing my game.

Looks pretty solid to me.

 Try www.chessvideos.tv.  Just get the PGN of your games, and using them to contruct the diagrams.

When you have played a game, or some games, take a look at the 'my online chess' section. This gives you the option of choosing 'my recent games' and you can also look at your game history - i.e. all the games you have played.  If you go to the bottom of that page, you see an option 'download as pgn'.  This will download any games you have highlighted as a zipped pgn bundle.  I assume you know how to save such to a created folder? (or desktop) - if not , reply and i will go through it.

One word though, I noticed it can only download 10 at a time, so check and download them regularly if you want to keep a record of your games.

Next, you need a pgn reader to import the files to after you have extracted them. You can find some in the free downloads section of this site (downloads is on the bar at the top of the page you are viewing).

Someone gave me a link to chesspad which does the job, but that was somewhere else. I noticed that 'scid' allows you to view pgns too and that is definitely in the free downloads.

Then you can view and annotate your own games to view with a pgn reader.

Any questions, send me a message. I will check this again anyway.

While we are here, DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO CONVERT SUCH ANNOTATIONS TO WORD FORMAT OR PRINT THEM OFF IN ANY WAY?? INCLUDING DIAGRAMS OR SEPERATELY?? Thanks in advance. Mxd.

 I think either way he moves his king is good for you. If he goes to b8, you play Qe2 lining up on the pinned bishop. If he goes to d8 you just snag the a7 pawn.
