Portable Games Notation and all that ...

Portable Games Notation (PGN) is a way of recording chess games so that computers can replay them.

Some other chess sites include PGN chess games which you can click through. If you want to do that for yourself then you can find out how at the Cassia's Web PGN editor page.

It is a good idea to look at the Video Tutorial to find out how to to use it. As well as recording games you can make your own chess puzzles.

The Rugby Chess Club blog

This is not the only new chess blog on the block. There is also one for the oldies at Rugby Chess Club and there is some interesting stuff there.

For those of you who would like to learn how to make computer animations of your games there is some advice there about how to make a game in Portable Games Notation. You can save this onto your computer as an animated gif or as a PGN file and embed it into an email to your friends. Or if you ask Sue about becoming a member of this blog you can add it in here.
