Game viewer

Hi All,

I had some problems embedding a game in this blog, but it seems to work now. I think the problem was that the viewer does not support 'non-standard' .pgn features such as variations, some points to note are:

1) Don't put variations in the pgn file, keep it simple, annotations go between {squiggly brackets}
2) On our resources page, click the large grey 'IMPORT PGN' button.
3) Paste PGN into box
4) If .pgn import is successful it should return to the viewer front page
5) Next to 'IMPORT' button you will now see a box with the code you need to copy, check the 'small' tickbox to display as below, otherwise it is too big for the page.
6) Copy code, then when you are writing the blog entry click the 'Edit HTML' tab BEFORE you paste the code/link int the post.
7) NOTE that if you 'Preview' the post the replay board will be visible but will not replay (this confused me for a while!)

A nice option to get the bigger size is to select the pop-out version which give a link as below, remember to pase the code in 'Edit HTML' mode !
