Jonah one thing that would make it easier is when you quote just remove the quotes from the previous post and add your move to the list in the right order.

Okay, like this?
Or I could boldface my move to make it stand out more since it doesn't appear on the diagram.

I can't drag and drop on the iPad to generate diagrams but I'm now trying VEN coding. It's hit or miss so far. This time it looks to be working but previous tries were a comical mess. I'll keep trying as I know it's a hassle for you to generate diagrams for both of us.

(Edited to remove extra pieces. First tries really were comical.)

Like that is perfect. We can take care of the diagram.

As I mentioned to Log I'm trying to generate diagrams with FEN coding, however, there's a harsh learning curve and it's taking me twenty minutes or more to update a single move. For now I may have to stick with just doing moves without the diagram. I'll try again this evening because I don't want you guys to have to do all my diagrams.

for some reason my board pic is mixed up, switching the file designations and rank to based on black lower left corner being a1. I mean to move my queen diagonal left and forward to the corner square. . . . from my black perspective. . . . my Qe7 defined by the designations in your previous post.

For some reason it messes up the coordinates when you use the "flip the board" option along with the click-able url. I couldn't figured it out yet. As a solution, I keep a pgn rotation of our game in a notepad file and copy-paste it to the "game replayer" tool on that website each time I make a move and then I click the "Copy this position to the Diagram Generator" link, so when I flip the board for the black viewpoint it doesn't become wrong in this way. If you'd like to do the same way, I can post our PGN rotation in my posts every time like I'm gonna do in this post.

The PGN notation, it's essentially the same with the notation we use but the spaces and small mistakes in ours make it unacceptable by the site so I correct it and keep it in a notepad file.

This is my first time ever hearing of him. . . . . way outta the league with you folks I guess. . . .

look at those rankings in the 2700 range, one in the 2800. And that's as good as it gets. . . .

Hard to believe Carlsen is 23 years old. It feels like yesterday when I first heard of him, and he was just a little kid.

Yeah, time flies indeed. I was newly learning chess when Carlsen became famous. Kasparov along with Fischer were my idols, so obviously, I couldn't believe the first time I heard that a 13 year old kid managed to get a draw against Kasparov. In fact I rejected to believe it until I saw the game on a science magazine. And much later, I watched the videos about it. It's almost like a movie scene and Kasparov's face is definitely worth to see when he accepted that he couldn't beat the kid. Actually it was him that could barely get the draw from the game.

No doubt that Carlsen will be one of the bests ever if he can keep staying at the top for a decent period of time.

Don't worry about generating the diagrams too much. It's pretty easy for us.
