Chess in Browser?

I remember a few years ago there was a program that allowed you to recreate famous games, embed them in an HTML page so people could view and enjoy the games played out in their browser...

My grandfather was a Wisconsin Chess champion for many years in the 40s and I wanted to take some of his original games and recreate them for my family to view in their browsers in a new site we are working on in his memory.

Any help in this is truly appreciated.

Grandfather's name was Averill Powers, you can Google him, Bobby Fisher actually stayed with him one weekend when he was in town for a tournament.

THANKYOU

Hi, I'm embedding chess viewer deluxe on my website, to create PGN files
of my grandfather's games for my family.

He was a state champion in Wisconsin for some years in the '40s, and played primarily
from 1935-1959

I have 117 descriptive handwritten games to translate into algabraic which is proving to be
a bit difficult for me.

The first problem though is that when I go to my website, http://powers.kittysafe.net
The applet gives an error:

Unexpected end of input stream is reached.  PGN Data is not valid!

After you click the title of the game on the games tab, the game loads, and the error
goes away, but obviously I would like to avoid the error altogether.

THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!

I googled his name, and happened to find this, I don't know if you've seen it.

I searched a chess database, but didn't find his name listed. I'll keep trying though. :)

Goodluck,

David.

Ths applet is very old, I used it for our chess club 10 years ago, maybe there is something more modern...

I also know Chess assistant has a utility to do this in XHTML, if you have know somebody who has that.

You can do this with the tools here -- post the game to a chess.com blog post using the game editor, and then click the "Share" link for the code to embed the game (hosted on chess.com) anywhere else.

Yes, or that....

Although the 2 I mentioned can handle multiple games.

A problem I am having is translating this oldschool notation into the code moves that the PGN viewer understands... if anyone can help me get started I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the first game by my grandfather I am trying to translate for PGN

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/__OV325sv48g/Tc7p2HkLfAI/AAAAAAAAbjA/UWHzd-cpMO8/s576/scan0047.jpg

For example, what is PKN3?

Or P-B4 ?  etc...

That QN-Q2 at move is 6 is killing me!

Believe me, it's not easy to find on Google, and I know it's tedious, I've been working on this one game for 2 hours.

it might be helpful for me thinking of it in terms of descriptive vs algabraeic though... hmmm

I understand the move QN-Q2 but not what it's called in PGN code...

Actually what you said helped me more than I thought...

So thank you very much.

Wow that is brilliant, I have 117 games to do, so if you can do this one for me, I can get a big headstart on doing the rest.  A lot of it is already starting to make sense, I believe I got up to the castle accurately:

Is this right so far?

1.d4 Nf6
2.Nf3 d5
3.e3 Nc6
4.Be3 Bg4
5.c3 g6
6.b1d2 f8g7
7.O-O O-O

Just use the analysis board Kitty (under "Resources" above). Play the game out on the board and the PGN shows automatically in the game editor tab.

Keju, I don't think you're understanding the issue here.  I need to translate oldschool coding to algabraic... so I can put them in PGN, they're originally not in game board form, but in written form by hand.

gretagarbo  just waiting for you right?  Btw thank you so much for your help!  Where are you in the States?

Garbo, here's the site, not sure why the applet isn't loading,

I got the applet to load, but the game file isn't loading hehe

Does this look right?  It's giving a PGN invalid error :)

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e3 Nbd7 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 g6 6.Nbd2 Bg7 7.O-O O-O 8.Qe2 cxd4 9.exd4 a6 10.Re1 e6 11.Nf1 b5 12.Ng3 Bb7 13.Bf4 Rb8 14.a4 b4 15.cxb4 Ra8 16.Rec1 Qe7 17.Rc7 Qxb4 18.a5 Rfb8 19.Bd2 Qd6 20.Rxb7

Nevermind I got it working!  You're right though, this paticular game ends rather abruptly... I do have many more to do though, so hopefully I have more luck translating them now!
