pgn4web help

The user can interact with the pgn4web chessboard using the keyboard or clicking chessboard squares; hovering the mouse on each square displays an help summary.

A search tool allows searching within the PGN games.

Errors alert messages are logged, such as failures to load PGN games, incorrect PGN games or incorrect FEN strings. When an error is encountered, the top left chessboard square will flash to signal the exception. The error alert log can be reviewed clicking on the same top left chessboard square.

For full details about the search tool (implemented as regular expression match of the text of the PGN game), please refer to the pgn4web search tool wiki page; please find below a sample list of useful search patterns:
