  • geweldige plugin

    I think it's a great program for my club website, I just miss the notations on the board. If I could, I would give it more than 9 stars. Freek

  • Comfortable and useful

    The right plugin for chessfans to share, discuss and analyse beautiful games and combinations with their chessfriends. Works fine. Widgets are useful, any combination can be added from the dropping list in a second and be used as puzzle of the day. Comfortable to go through the games on mobile phones because the moves are under the board while the players' names and other information are above. This allows you to have just a board and moves on the screen.

  • Good for archives of Chess Games for Clubs

    I use it in order to enable all members of our club to submit their games and archive them. So others can look at them and comentate them. This seems like the only plugin that I have found, that enables exactly this use-case. It is a very good start and I hope that we will see some additions (like direct PGN-Upload for all users, instead of just the Admin) and more possibilities to filter the lists of the games (tags and categories), more display settings and better mobile compatibility :-)
