As kco implies, you cannot add notes into your Live Chess games within the Live Chess games archive. You have to use an editor to add annotations: either the Diagram Editor on chess.com - or export the game into an external program/database e.g. SCID (see free-chess-annotating-software).

no but like this

on move 15 This is horrible I know. Too worried about his b4 advance but it opens up a world of trouble later. Rh3 or Bf6 look better.

look at post #6 see the little chessboard ? click on that and then put your game in it and with your annnotation.
