I went through the forum to find out how to post a game. There are some explanations which require something like 15 steps or so. Here the simple way:

1. Go to your game and click the download symbol (the second one from these symbols above your nickname). 

2. Copy the PGN. This is all the stuff that you have under the title "PGN". 

3. Now you have almost: you go to the forum, click the diagram "insert chess game or diagram" (it is a little chess board).

4. Click "load PGN" and paste your PGN. Finish. Now click insert and you have it.

Thanks for the explanation.  How do you insert your own annotations?

I saw an explanation somewhere, I will try to find it again.

For annotations you right click on the move and it gives you a menu.Click on "comment"(obviously).Once your comment ends simply go to another move.

Let's try again:

As you can see in the game, hoping that the opponent will not see a thread is not the best way to play chess. This is the reason why a strong player needs more time to win against a beginner than a weaker player. The weaker player goes for an early (and unsound) checkmate, the strong player play usually the best moves, not hoping for mistakes.

This is not possible on mobile, right?

Probably not, with an app I even was not able to access my own club.

You can do some of it from a mobile browser, but not the app.

If you want to post a game you have saved to your computer, open it into a textfile reading program (Notepad on Windows), then copy the whole text (Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C on Windows) and then paste it (Ctrl-V on Windows) into the PGN box in comment's "Insert chess game or diagram" window.

Problem is that I get a security error when I try to do this on firefox.

For the people who don’t know how to post a game with comments inserted.

Yes, my comments in the notation never save. When I insert the game, the comments aren’t there.

I have a lot of ebooks on chess and these books contain a lot of games that are analyzed. But to play them on a board reading the notation gives me a headache.

Would it possible to have a standard on line chess board, where I copy/paste the notations from the ebook, so that it becomes palayable like the games in this thread?

I wonder. That would be a great help.

You can load a game if the format is correct.
