Embedding Games on Facebook

I would really like to be able to post a game to Facebook so that it is embedded in the Facebook post as a playable board. At the moment posting the URL link for a game, or the embed code, just creates an external link to Chess.com in the Facebook post. 

Googling for an a answer, it seems that it might have been possible to have a playable board in Facebook before, but it doesn't work for me now. I suppose the downside to this for Chess.com would be that more traffic goes to Facebook, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like this feature!

Have you looked at the embedded gif option?

Thanks @Martin_Stahl. The gif option is useful, but not really what I'm looking for.

I have never done it but does the Share > Facebook option on a game just link back to the site?

Yes, it just links back to this site.
