hi
i have seen one day, that the final position of a game can be emailed to me in PNG format.
i wondered if the hole game, 1 e4 e5 2Cf3 Cf6 etc... can be emailed as a PNG game, also. I would like to analyse some games i have lost, off connection.
i do not know a lot about PNG
i think it is an universal format for ghess games
what shall i do with a PNG game, for example i have copyed/pasted in a .txt file, the "immortal game" that is given in the FAQ of redhotpawn.
but my two chess software on my mac "sigma chess" and "chess", do not want to open the .txt file
so i resume:
1) how to b eemailed one game i habve played, in PNG format
2) how to use this mail in order to read it with every chess software ?
thanks

I do not know what programs are compactible with mac. For the windows the well known free one is "chesspad".
Google something like PGN mac viewer

Originally posted by ivan2908Yes, copying and pasting from the Windows clipboard (don't know what it's called in MACland) is often a feature of chess programs, but I was just keeping it simple for him.
Usually you even do not have to do that
copy paste does the trick in every chess viewer I know.
ok thank very much.
i am so stupid i had used the image extension (.png) instead of (.pgn)
now it works very well with sigma chess for example, but i must copy paste only what is between
now, i have not found yet the answer to this question: how can i get the (.pgn) historic of a game i have played on redhotpawn ??
