Posting PGN to Blogger?
Sort:
zeeple, on blogger most people use a free tool called ChessPublisher. I have an example here you can check out and see whether it suits you tastes.
You may also try www.chessvideos.tv. Look at the left column and choose what you would do. I also looked at ChessPublisher; it's also good to use.

Thanks for the tip! I tried it out and it is a nice service. Kudos to chesspublisher. I am still wondering though... does chess.com have it's own pgn viewer? How do they get the big pretty blue board and nice looking chess pieces? I'd love to be able to really dress up the games on my blog in this manner. Thanks!

I also checked out the chessvideos.tv solution and it is ubersweet! I'll look into what kinds of options there are... I think there is something wrong with my PGN file though as it only plays through move 26 :( Here it is (don't make fun of me for not winning :( )

There's a bug maybe, for how come the king was captured! There should be no annotations in the moves. Maybe try ChessPublisher instead.

I asked the same question and this is what you do.
1. Download your game as a pgn file.
2. Open the pgn file using wordpad
3. When you get to the point that you want to include a game on the blue board (as you put it) get to the screen where it gives the option to import pgn (I think it says paste pgn here)
4. Go to the wordpad text and highlight it by left click and dragging over the text(this'll be a move list by now)
5 . Right mouse click and choose copy.
6. Go back to the paste pgn here window, right mouse click in the box and choose paste.
7. Presto hey! Job done.

Oops no the bug was in a poorly recorded game. Once I corrected the moves and re-converted it the games plays through correctly now. So far I am really liking chessvideos.tv. Really a nice service!

Thanks for the step by step, but this is how you use chess.com's system to post a game to a chess.com blog. I have already started a blog at blogger and I want to keep it there. What I want to do is use nice graphics like what chess.com offers in their PGN viewer. Is that a guarded viewer that chess.com doesn't want other people to use? chessvideos.tv's graphics are okay but the brown on brown chessboard is not very attractive and their bitmap chesspieces do not compare to the "club" pieces offered in the chess.com viewer.
I see what you mean. I think the boards chess.com use are there own design and can't be transferred. You would need to ask the direct question. Else I know that the chess.com staff view all the posts eventually, so wait for one of them to post a reply here.
I just wanted to second the request - I know the chess.com staff have plenty of great things going and this is probably not on the list, but it would be great if I could post games using chess.com's graphics. They're the best I've seen, anywhere. Maybe plop a link to chess.com on them so that as people post their games across the web some of that traffic finds its way here?

Thats exactly right. It would be a huge endorsement for chess.com to provde a game reply engine with their great graphics. There is still the question of Beta vs. pay-site. Last I checked the people who run chess.com were not forth coming about what will require a pay subscription and what will not. I don't want to ivest my time recreating my games with their engine just to be squeezed for cash down the road.

Great News Erik!! That is very exciting. Will this be a feature that will eventually require a pay subscription when the site is no longer beta? Thanks!
I was wondering if there was any movement on this. Does chess.com provide a pgn viewer for general consumption?
That's great. How does one use that to display games in their blogger based blogs?
I have created a game using the analysis board and then I found the embed button but I am not seeing any code or embed tags that I would then paste into my blog on blogger. For example, the way chessvideos.tv does it is with iframe tags:
<iframe src="http://www.chessvideos.tv/replayer-insert.php?id=4670" style="border: 1px solid black;" frameborder="0" height="580" scrolling="no" width="400"></iframe>
Is this a feature you provide?

Hi! Does anyone else here have a blogspot blog in which they post pgn games? I have noticed that the games which are posted here have a lot of formatting options and in general are very nice looking. I have seen a free utility called ltpgnviewer which you can use in conjunction with blogger but it seems to be less attractive (forgive the vanity). Can anyone speak to this? Can anyone offer advise as to how I could get my games onto my blog using the blue board and the "club" pieces? Thanks!
