Originally posted by watchyourbackrankWelcome. When I post games with annotations, I usually add just a few of them, tick the "preview before post" box, and see whether I am still in the "valid pgn zone". If not, it is easier to figure out where the mistake is. If yes, I add a few more and check again.
thanks gambit!
I have posted several games in the past. this time however i cannot make it work. frustrating! at least now it's possible to follow the game. i might add my annotations later...
Originally posted by gambit05yeah, subsequent error checking is the way to go!
