3. Press the preview button to see the game in the viewer.
Repeat steps 1-3 until the desired result is obtained.
4. Copy and paste the html below into blogger or your web page.
Do not add any new line breaks within this html text.
Tips, tricks and known issues:
If you are entering non-Western localized characters they may not display properly in your web pages and they may get eaten by Blogger.
Ampersands in the PGN data are transformed into blanks.
Single quotation marks in the PGN data are converted to single right quotation marks (hat tip to Steve Eddins of http://www.eddins.net/steve/chess/).
Column width limitations in your blog or web page may result in different viewer dimensions than seen on this page. Using 100% for the width often gives the best result (but not on Livejournal where a number, like 600, works better).
If multiple games are in the PGN data only the first game is shown in the viewer.
Blogger preview often does not render ChessFlash correctly, especially with Show / Hide enabled.
Multiple ChessFlash Viewers in a single web page can slow page load performance especially with Internet Explorer. The Show / Hide wrapper improves page load speed.
To better match a web page with a black or dark background try using 0 (zero) for the
Background Color Override
.
