A game of chess, pr'aps?

Okay, how do we embed a code like  [color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.65)]<iframe style="width: 400px; height: 560px;" src="https://www.chess.com/daily_puzzle" frameborder="0"></iframe>[/color]

We have to actually dig into the HTML code of the website to embed that, I think, which is a daunting task - you have to get it into the precise right position, or it breaks the site. I may try to contact Wrabbit to see if he can offer any guidance, because that is beyond my expertise.

In the meantime, I think @"FlyingClayDisk" had the workaround, taking screenshots when a move is made and posting them in this thread to await the next move,

BUT - I'm gonna keep on working on an embed or game solution.

That may be pertinent, in particular this:

Much like the daily puzzle, official Chess.com streams can be easily embedded using the "share" option on our Twitch channel and on archived Twitch videos. Just add the embed code to your website or blog. Note that on-demand videos are only available for 60 days and for Chess.com Twitch subscribers.

But I don't know how tu start a game to embed or "share"..

I think there was a similar call on ATS some years ago when a thread was made along the same lines. It didn't pan out although some members did play each other on a designated site. The interest faded though. I used to be a chess player in the league here in Scotland and might have joined in just for the fun of it.

I don't have many hobbies or do much but work and yell at my interns when I'm not doting on my beautiful and ever-patient bride of over 3 decades.

But I do enjoy a good game of chess.

I could set up my board, and would challenge any Rogue to a game.

I often play chess.  Whereabouts would we play?

Just online.

We'd post our moves so everyone could follow.

Very good idea!  

And great way for others to learn



My brother played chess and I remember back in high school, he was the first student to beat a teacher that was a pro at it -- I was like, that is my brother, neener-neener ....LMAO
(I'm his kid sister, so yeah  )


I on the other hand, knew the moves but never acquired the mental strategy needed to win.

Carl was also good at the board game "Risk", another game of strategy

Yeah, @"Wrabbit2000" may have an idea,  if he is not too busy and can help out.


In fact, I think it was during one of RN early days, that wrabbit or someone had mentioned adding a game plugin or something (back when we had Joomla, which was a problem child), but we never got around to it or couldn't find anything that was compatible    


Would be super cool if we could find a way to embed it now
Fingers crossed, that it can be done

If you paste the PGN into the analysis board (Resourses -> Analysis Board & Editor) then click 'Game Editor', there is an embed option...
I read this help file when I was first trying to figure it out: [url=http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=743]http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=743
Hope this helps!

When in Saudi we used to go on a 7 day R&R every 3 to 4 months.

I'll share a war story with the boards:

While attending USAICS at Fort Hoochie Coochie, I signed up for the chess tournament they held annually over at the Rec Center.

Now, I wasn't a bad chess player, but I had never defeated my older brother on his board either. I tore my dad up a couple of times ... and after picking up pieces scattered across the living room floor ... decided it likely wasn't in my best interests to challenge him again. So, it would be fair to say I had a solid foundation coming into this particular tournament.

I'd never played against a clock before. It was an added element of stress. The early rounds were of shorter duration and there was a certainty some of the stronger players would be taken out on day one.  I was fine with that as I figured it increased my chances of getting closer to the finals.

Now this tournament was a known marathon event.  Players came in from all over the Department of Defense (your tax dollars hard at work). It started early Saturday and ran until 16:00 on Sunday.  If memory serves, they shut the venue down at 22:00 on Saturday.  The finals, based on the timers, would end sometime in the early afternoon on Sunday.  Most of my day-one games ended after 10 or 15 minutes of play, which didn't give the player/observers much in the way of finding any of my weaknesses to exploit on Sunday.

The returning champ was eliminated on day-one along with two of the other better-rated hopefuls.  I had a lot of time on Saturday to watch, but wasted it looking at what these fellas' game play looked like.

On Sunday I sat down in front of a guy, whose face I couldn't remember from the day before, for our quarter-final start.  The clocks were set to 30 minutes.  Me and this guy were alone ... no one watching.  The 'crowds' were around two other tables and I wasn't able to see who held everyone's interest.

What seemed like ten minutes later, I was able to get close enough to one of the hotter games to see the player's faces.  Turned out the remaining four top-rated guys were paired against one another, surely increasing the Nobody's chances of moving up.  I didn't know any of 'em and I wasn't good enough to tell by their game play if I had a snowball's chance in Arizona against them.  I remember that these guys looked like grown men and sooner or later us fresh-faced youngsters were going to clash with the bulls.

As we rolled into the semis, the older two split against me and another fella who looked to be about five years my senior.  The other old guy got smoked early and the crowd that remained gathered around the table.  I had drawn black ... and defense had always my strong game.  Early on, I traded a bishop for a knight and a pawn and wore my opponent down. I spotted a good fork with my remaining knight and began to cascade his pieces off the board.  He stopped his clock and shook my hand ... and just like that ... I was in the final.

The last game allowed two hours for each clock and started right on schedule at noon.  Someone in the audience had done their homework, and I heard it said I was the youngest person to ever enter the finals.  My opponent was an E-6 from the Air Force.  I think that gave me the home field advantage, but I didn't think I had much chance.  I traded an early bishop for one of his knights and a better position on the board.  From there I worked him over trading pieces and developing long lines of attacks for my rooks and queen.  I remember him making a stupid mistake and I pinned his king to its home row and mated him two moves later.

Story gets better, but I'll save those two parts for another day.  

Did I ever share with you what happened on my last trip to Thailand?

If you did I have forgot ?? Many friends with stories so keeping them straight is a problem.

Like you I taught my brother how to play and after school we would play 4 or 5 quick games before supper.

Back in the day there were games for money !! One guy from New York who could not fly worth a damn was one heck of a chess player... I NEVER BEAT HIM !! Never play cards or chess for money with a New York guy who is a sorry pilot !!

[FauxMulder]

I could set up my board, and would challenge any Rogue to a game.

Challenge accepted.

Bishop 12 to knight 69.

You sank my battleship!

[IAMTAT]

I love watching a good game of Chest.

Best opening move: Bishop to 44D.

I met God there ... for the 2nd time. You might go there and find Him yourself.

That's Wat Pho.  The famous reclining Buddha can be found in the top left.  But, somewhere in that red circle you'll find The Temple of the Moon and the Sun.  Hang out outside the Temple of the Moon.  When He shows up, I hope you're ready for it.

I NEVER BEAT HIM !! Never play cards or chess for money with a New York guy who is a sorry pilot !!

I don't know where he came from, but the guy who really mentored me eventually put down roots in Georgia.  We spent a lot of time at the board when we'd go to the field.  Wouldn't matter if we played fast or slow, he was always too strong for me to beat. Nicest guy you could ever meet too.

When I went back to Fort Wegot'cha for my second tournament there, I found his name on the Champion's Board.  Wasn't surprised at all, but he had never told it was up there, just that he no longer had any interest in competition.
