It depends where the carriage return is. I always enter my games on this site in groups of five moves per line. If I split the move, for example by putting the CR after the move number, I get this:

Oh, that's right. I am so used to working around that error that I had forgotten some of the particulars.

Originally posted by Paul Leggett Here's a test from a ridiculous game I played in the last round of a tournament. Interestingly, it gives my comments, but leaves out the variations.
My OTB play is such that my team mates or club mates are always nervous, because I blunder and swindle with unsettling frequency and drama.

Thanks a bunch- I think I have to accept that I have limitations I may never overcome, and the pgn viewer seems to be one of them.
