Good luck for the new site

Unfortunately, no, it's not supported by the software I'm using. I can probably modify the JavaScript board/game representation to permit this, though. I'll look into it. I want to add a "side to move" indicator, as well, at some point.

It's great that a posted pgn will result in a playable diagram, but how do I go the other way around: How do I access the source pgn in order to paste it into my own gui?

Just copy and paste the PGN text. The symbols will be converted to the english piece letters.

Just don't copy the tags below but everything in the middle

Code: Select all

[pgn][/pgn]

Is is possible to leave them out when the pgn is shown in the text box?

You mean, you want to see the board and the controls, but not the move list?

It would be nice if we can get the coordinates (rank/file).

click on the square D8 (full pgn of all games) or C8 (current game only)
click on H8 for an help file

Paolo's done an amazing job with it -- great to see him here. I have a pretty clear idea now of how to generate the FEN for the current position (at least as part of the PGN output, but possibly also as a display element, if it looks ok). If I get to it this week, that's great, otherwise it'll have to be in a couple of weeks (Chalkidiki and JavaScript don't mix).
