I don't have any chess software. That's why I was asking for an online source.
This is Winboard or Xboard or whatever you need. I hear some users use 'Chesspad'. I don't, but perhaps someone will talk you into it.
Alt+V to paste a game
Alt+C to copy back out if you like.
F2 flips the board.
Use your arrows left and right to move forward, and you can even type moves like Nxf4
etc... Cool tool.

Hey, I downloaded Chessbaselight, pasted in the game, and played it out! This is probably old hat to you veterans of computer chess land, but it's a first for me. Thanks for all your help.
The 8000 game limit per database in CB Light will limit its utility when you get into serious research, but as you learn to use it, you'll begin to understand why folks happily shell out $150 USD for ChessBase 9.

You agree belgianfreak seriously needs to get a life, maybe a woman or something to keep him occupied. I think we should start a collection to help buy him one :-)To continue of elephant's thread, there does need to be a section to tell people exactly where to send different types of complaints. I think it stinks that the guy is being yelled at and having his ...[text shortened]... oved by tards simply because he doesnt know where to say what he has to say or who to say it to.
