Hi All,
Yes you can. Click on the notebook, make your entries, make your move and hit the Move button. I update mine almost every move. Is it because you try to update after the move or am I missing something here? Or do you have too many characters in your notes?
Let me know, sounds odd. Oh yeah, and to get back on topic. I am the King of stupid drops. I've dropped my Queen so many times she walks with a limp!

Actually, think it has changed because a couple of weeks back I am sure it didn't allow you to save your notes when it is your turn to move. Since then I didn't bother trying....or maybe it was just me doing something wrong. 😀

I really cant seem to get the same answer from anyone. If you promote 5 or even 6 pawns, can you REALLY have them to be promoted to 5 or 6 Queens. I know, and you all know, one would win long before that, unless they cant tell a pawn from a knight but, I was asked this from excellent players and I just told them "I think so, six queens are possible". What is the real legal answer on that? Sincerely, TRAINS44

I got at least three once in a match on uchess.com.
Can't recall correctly if there were even four, but three are possible for sure.

9 queens are possible, counting the original and all 8 pawns. It would be extremely difficult to do (you'd have to clear a way through each file), and every other piece would probably have to be gone to avoid mating on the spot...
