I was afraid something like that would happen....
Getting closer...Now where did the rest of the game go?
Well best of luck. I can't do it either...LOL
Oh my....
Thanks manekapa; you are of course correct...sigh...
Anyhow except for being careful when copying the PGN file (Ctrl c) and pasting it (Ctrl v), it's pretty straightforward. Have fun!

Guys,
Excuse my ignorance but I am still unsure as to how to embed a chess game/board into the forums. Can someone help please? I have downloaded and installed a PGN reader, but can't get the actual game with all of the moves to embed.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
To embed a chess game into a forum, you'll generally need to use the forum's built-in tools or a method that allows embedding of external content, such as an iframe. Many chess websites like Chess.com and Lichess.org provide options to generate embed code or links that can be placed within the forum post.
