    I'm posting this so I can analyze my game (I'm white) but I'd rather clutter RHP rooms everytime I want to examine a game. Is there a place where you can just post an analyze games without making a thread?

    Do you need to analyse on the web? If not, you can install a free PGN viewer. I use Winboard, but there are many others.

    It doesn't have to be the web. I didn't know PGN viewers exist. Are the files big? I only have dialup over here.

    Hi,
    A few popular free chess programs that can also view pgn files and analyze games are Arena (my fav), Winboard, and Scid. (Scid is more of a database program, but it can also analyze.)

    Arena 2.0.1 Setup - about 19 MB download size.
    http://www.playwitharena.com/

    Scid 3.7.3 - about 9 MB.
    http://scid.sourceforge.net/download.html

    Winboard 4.3.15 Gold pack - about 2.5 MB.
    http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/viewtopic.php?t=49439

    There are others, some smaller in size, but these are the big 3 free ones, imho.

    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xboard/winboard/

    5.9 megs but that includes a lot of additional software (engines) and sample pgn files.

    If that's too large to get, try this page and email them a request.

    http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/

    I suspect they'll be decent and provide a way for you to get it.

    Trooper... try this pgn viewer website.... it works every time for me.
    It's basic, but it does the job. (Nothing to download)

    Nice game by the way!

    One more:
    I've never used ChessPad, but it's only about 1 MB in size (it can analyze, but it looks like the features are limited):

    Edit: OK, I've never used this one either:

    ChessCat (1.7 MB)
