Enter your own Chess Games!

Here is how to enter your own chess games!

1) ENTER YOUR GAME MOVES!
You must first type your moves in "PGN" notation. An example game is below:
[Event "Reid Seghers Vs. Coach Reese"]
[Site "Waukesha, WI"]
[Date "2007.06.06"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Seghers, Reid"]
[Black "Reese, Gregory Sr."]
[Result "0-1"]
1. e4 d5 2. Nc3 d4 3. Nb5 a6 4. Na3 e5 5. b3 Bb4 6. Nf3 Bg4 7. Bc4 Nf6 8. h3
Bh5 9. 0-0 b5 10. Be2 Nxe4 11. Nxe5 Bxe2 12. Qxe2 Qh4 13. g3 Nxg3 14. Ng6+ Qe4
15. Qxe4+ Nxe4 16. Nxh8 Kf8 17. Re1 Nxd2 18. Bxd2 Bxd2 19. Re2 Bc3 20. Rd1 Nc6
21. Nxf7 Kxf7 22. Rd3 Re8 23. Rf3+ Kg6 24. Rxe8 Nb4 25. Re6+ Kh5 26. Rg3 g6
27. Re7 h6 28. Rg7 g5 29. Kf1 d3 30. cxd3 Bxg7 31. Nb1 Nxa2 32. Ke2 Nc1+ 33.
Kf3 Nxb3 34. h4 Nd4+ 35. Ke4 C5 36. hxg5 hxg5 37. Kd5 Nf5 38. Rf3 Kg4 39. Ke4 Nd4
40. Rg3+ Kh4 41. Kd5 Ne2 42. Re3 Nf4+ 43. Kxc5 Nh3 44. d4 Nxf2 45. d5 g4 46. d6 g3
47. d7 Bf6 48. Re6 Bg5 49. Kc6 g2 50. Re1 Kh3 51. Kc7 Kh2 52. d8=Q Bxd8 53. Kxd8
g1=Q 54. Rxg1 Kxg1 55. Kc7 Nd3 56. Kb6 b4 57. Kxa6 b3 58. Ka5 b2 59. Ka4 Kf2
60. Ka3 Ke2 61. Ka2 Kd1 62. Ka3 Kc2 63. Ka2 Nc1+ 64. Ka3 Kxb1 65. Ka4 Ka2 66.
Ka5 b1=Q 67. Ka4 Nd3 68. Ka5 Qb7 69. Ka4 Qb4++ 0-1

2) NOW, CREATE YOUR GAME DIAGRAM!
Using the notation style shown above (and using zero instead of the letter O for castling), type your game (or example or lesson) out on the computer. Then, go to the Chess Publisher web site and paste your game into the window. Then, click on the "Generate Diagram --->" button. You will see the diagram for your game. Highlight the text below the diagram (in the box "Highlight and copy this text") and click on Edit / Copy to copy that to memory.

3) FINALLY, PASTE THE DIAGRAM LINK INTO YOUR BLOG ENTRY!
Now, go to this blog and you can paste your text into your own blog article or into a response from someone else's article! Your game diagram will show.

This method should work very well to help Mill Valley parents and kids enter their games for all to enjoy!!!!

Thanks for writing the detailed 'how-to' info. I guess I should have done the same but you've done a great job at that :)

Thanks for the plug too. I'm the creator of Chess Publisher
