 suggestion for new feature: Save your analysisanalysis board in your game. Or if that requires to much server disk space, something like "save these moves as a note" would be handy too. |

Bart's great idea And it is a wonderful idea. I would find it useful every day -- and valuable literally for years to come. This feature would further differentiate GameKnot from rival sites, and it would help us build our strength as chess players. Let's make it happen! |

Yes it is a great idea ... Even in my limited puter understanding, I know that TEXT is alway "cheap" to save space-wise. Nothing cheaper than a byte, but a bit, yeah?! But diagramming & graphics take more ?! But it could save the FEN & only make the diagram when viewed, if that is a concern ? }8-D |

Thanks I'm not sure if it's enough to save the FEN notation, it only gives the board in a specific position not the moves that were played. Or am I wrong with that? |

Clarification . . . About the FEN, [ don't read in any Implication that I KNOW anything about Programming anymore, if ever ! Thus I should not even have mentioned FEN ] But, I didn't mean to keep only a FEN(s), rather to insert FEN-string into the programming at any game move(s) where you specifically wanted a diagram to appear; with instructions to Print To Screen the FEN's diagram whenever you called up that page of your saved analysis. I may be all wrong on any Need to do that, nowadays, since I "Think" in "BASIC" programming language (the only one I've ever really used, even a little bit) from the Dark Ages. And back then it was much more byte economical to save any Text info than to save a 'snapshot' of a monitor page, or diagram on it. Is is best now & space-saving to simply Save it all for You/Us as a complete PGN !? I suspect that. But, in Some-Way to save all the Moves and Analysis as well. So Uh, H E L P ! . . . someone {Heinzkat, Ganstaman, Lightotheright !? ... or any similar gentleman, or gentlette, being well endowed of PC-Wizardry; who by now have had a great diaphragm-spasming guffaw session } MAybe that is the PGN or whatever means the Annotated Games now use !? |

temp files You make me start thinking... and I came to the conclusion that disk space shouldn't be a problem for GK at all because of: 1. They can remove the extra saved analysis boards after the game is finished and 2. If you want to keep those extra boards, they can develop a plug-in wherefor this extra info is saved on your local hard drive! for example: in c:\users\b123\application data\gameknot\analysis\123456789.1 where 123456789 refers to one of your games and .1 to an analysis board for a given position [FEN notation] including to moves you made from there on [PGN]. Looks likes it's quite easy to implement! |
