create a diagram or game, then there is an Copy to Embed


Dos this feature word to place replayable games on blogger? Will it remain accesible two years from now without you squeezing us for cash down the road? In other words, will you provide an exceptionally valuable service free of charge for no other business reason than that it will extend your advertising at no additional cost to you? Are you willing to pay me for using your service to post replayable games on my blog (paid advertising)?

Hi Ziryab, yes I noticed that chesspublisher is down as well.  The first two or three posts on my blog were done with chesspublisher and so now I get nice 404's displayed there too :P

For the majority of my posts I am using chessvideos.tv which is a really nice (and free last time I checked) service for displaying games on blogs and other sites that accept html tags.  I am hoping to use chess.com's display engine for this but so far I cannot figure out how.

hrmmm... if you click EMBED you get a popup with code like this:

<iframe border="0" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" width="574" height="434" src="http://www.chess.com/emboard.html?id=406777"></iframe>

you don't see that?

NOTE: i just tried again, and oddly, you have to first click on "Post on Chess.com" before clicking on embed. we should fix that. :D

Hey, looks nice!  There are some formatting issues but that might be my blogger template.  You can see what it looks like here:

P.S. I got slaughtered.  Please don't make fun of me (too badly) for my many terrible blunders in the game...

nice! can you make your blogger canvas wider?

Well, not with that template, however, I did choose a different template which does not include a sidebar so the full PGN viewer now displays!  Very nicely done Erik, very nice indeed.  I am hoping I can email PGN records of games from the iPhone chess.com app.  Is that on the feature list?

wait, you already get your finished games emailed to you from chess.com :) why would you need to send them from iphone again? you can currently send your games vs. computer via email.

I have email notifications turned off in my chess.com preference because there are so many that come in.  If I could turn on email notifications for just certain things that would be ideal.  The better option, I think, would be to be able to email the results of any game (finished or in progress) to any email address.  That way I could email it straight to my blog.  For now though, I'll turn on email notifications.

It no longer works on any blog. The board is visible but the pieces do not move. Does anyone know how to fix it?

There's been a recent problem posting games. Try clicking the edit button and then post again.

 

The poster may be talking about embedded board in an iframe off-site. There have been a number of related posts about it.

Example URL please?

Here's another member with the issue: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/offsite-game-embedding

That doesn't have a link to the actual blog / offsite issue either. Need an external URL to see.
