Chess Publisher

Here is a different way to publish a game of chess. I think it's better than what I was doing, because you can cycle the moves and add in your own variations and then hit the "R" button - reverting back or resetting the position. I don't care for the white background, tho, and the browser must have Javascript enabled. The guy is 90% done with a new version but it's been 8 months in the making so I don't think it'll be available anytime soon.

The animated graphics I was making are original and you don't see those on other chess sites or blogs. I'll miss the "Check, sucker" and things like that when viewing them.

This particular game below (which I have no idea why I'm actually posting it), I lost in spectacular fashion. At some point, the phone rang. I answered it. It was the hospital & I went into a deep conversation about my hospital stay. I believe this to be around White's 32nd move because that's when I started moving like I never played the game before.

Yes. This is evidence that I cannot play chess online & talk on the phone at the same time. Jeff, my opponent, was gracious in obliging my sacrifices. I went from an easily won game to an embarrassing loss. Funny, I can just imagine what was going thru his mind after my moves 32 & 35.



I resigned at move 63. Anyone can see Black has a checkmate in 13 moves.

Just kidding. Fritz pointed that out to me.
