Recent Blitz Game (and testing pgn viewer)

I know ChessFlash has been out for quite sometime, but I'm just now checking it out.

The only way it looks good on my blog is if I do the 'board only' option. If I include the move list on the side or bottom, the board is too small ... this is due to my narrow column. I wish there were an option for making the move list more narrow and the board more wide.

On a related note, I mentioned ficsgames.com a while back. I don't know the full scope of that project, but I imagine that eventually you'd be able to post a game or embed a game from that site to your blog. Right now the site is down (hardware failure).

  1. I had the same problem, and had to change it to the "stacked" layout (board above text), and also changed the width to 500 instead of the default (see the recent game I put on my blog for an example).

    If you tweak the parameters it can look ok, though it is a little weird that it makes the board so tiny by default.
