HELP ! Annotations

Avatar of bladezii

Kind staff members,

I would love to annotate a game and share it for training with members of our group, ATDG.

There is one problem.  I don't know how to write the annotations after particular moves.  I don't want to write one massive composition at the bottom or end of game.

Would you please show me how I may write the annotations after the particular moves?  Or, if it's available, point me to the right article which has those instructions and I will gladly follow it.

** I annotated a game already but I had to use the comment field and write the moves there and comment.  Then I had to post another comment, and another, and so on and so on.  I would rather not do that.  **

Click on the litle board icon on top of the chatbox, choose "Game or Sequence of Moves". From there you can enter the PGN and comment on each move(using Comment After Move tab), if you do it right, it should look like this.

Excellent, I will go ahead and try that.  Thank you so much !  Now time to work.

Storm, wait, how do I share it after I finish annotating it ?  I would like to make a thread and post the game there, with all the annotations, the board diagram, etc.

Bottom or top ?  I see a diagram box saying insert position.  But it is at the top left.

All right, that clears up and adds another great tool.  Thanks.

I have a video on annotating if you wish to see it. I suck though so my annotations are quite elementary. Still I know the basics if you want to SEE how I do it with the tools we have here. Let me know if you want it. It's also in one of the archived newsletters from a month or two ago.

Yes, please, and thank you for that.  I will put it to good use.
