Avatar of JosephReidNZ

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to add a chess puzzle to my blog on Chess.com, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've searched the help articles and forum posts but am still a bit lost, or maybe I'm just being dumb 😃😁

Could someone please provide a step-by-step guide on how to include a puzzle (from my Survival run(s) in my blog post? Any tips or tricks would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Joseph Reid.

Thanks for this. I came across this a day ago, but surely there's an earlier/quicker way just by putting in the puzzle's PGN?

Here you go

From the Comment box

1. Click on the board icon from menu bar over the Comment box

2. Click on Set up the position,

3. Delete to clear the board

4. Set up the puzzle

Click on Insert Button

You will have the puzzle.

If you wish to have the text before the puzzle, i suggest type the text first or you can type the text after the puzzle as the puzzle will be inserted where the cursor is last placed in the comment box.

Hope this helps

No, there isn't an easier way to do a puzzle.

I'm still having major trouble with doing it. I set up the puzzle using what @Chessnut2018 said, but after it just looked like a picture where you can't do the moves.

I'm very lost!

You have to import or create the starting position, with whatever side to move the solver is moving. Then you need to import or use the option to make the puzzle moves. After that's done, cluck the Puzzle checkbox on the Theme tab.

Thank you for the additional information, Martin.

I've followed the instructions, but I am none the wiser 🙄

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I feel very dumb!

Hey @MendrackAgafonovich 👏

You have to watch a show on Chess TV (1 hour). For those other Chess TV awards are 8 hours, and 24 hours.
