How To Embed Chess Games into Forum

Sort:
formatallan

Guys,

Excuse my ignorance but I am still unsure as to how to embed a chess game/board into the forums. Can someone help please? I have downloaded and installed a PGN reader, but can't get the actual game with all of the moves to embed. 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

 I just click on the chessboard above where I'm typing and follow the instructions.  Still, there are some previous threads...https://www.chess.com/forum/search?keyword=how+to+post+a+diagram

You did good baddogno. Your game post seems OK. It was a short ten-move game.

 Oh my....surprise.png Thanks manekapa; you are of course correct...sigh...
Anyhow except for being careful when copying the PGN file (Ctrl c) and pasting it (Ctrl v), it's pretty straightforward.  Have fun!
