Halp, how do I play a game on hear :)

Such a long time playing on here, too much blitz and one minute chess. Anyone back after a long hiatus?

@congruent

Yes.

Just started playing last October after a 17 year break.

The current site is fantastic compared to when I joined 22 years ago.

I just play games, no tournaments etc and think Russ and Co have done a fantastic job.

What is your issue out of interest?

Managed to find how to start a game, the icons and everything look different. Speed & bullet chess can be fun but the quality of chess is not good, just looking to win on the clock.

If you are on the website it is the right most gray icon showing a flash.

be aware that that type is not much en vogue here...

Someone wished me a good game, how do I reply to say good game too? Using phone. Worked out how to reply lol.

How do I add a pgn of someone's game then add comments e.g. develop knight here or this is a blunder? Sorry been looking at the FAQ's etc

Hi, you can go to a finished game and click on the right hand menue on "annotations" then you can put your comments.

Or you cope the pgn, add your comments and post in a forum.

@Ponderable thanks your such a star. I wish I had been back on the site sooner.

For an example of what ponderable is describing, view greenpawn34's latest blog post, scroll down to the game from World Rapid 2023, click on the "PGN" button below that game, and view the result in the text box just below the button. If one wanted to post precisely what greenpawn34 posted (including comments), one could copy/paste what appears in that text box, and then put "pgn" in square brackets before it and "/pgn" in square brackets after it.
