Anyone want to play a game of chess with me, at a slow pace?

They may be a decent way of documenting correspondance chess. Would the features on any of these sites work for us? Can we embed the games here?

I'm pretty sure we could use any of them, they all appear to be free to use and all browser based. I doubt we can embed anything on here, screen shot maybe?
 
I am here at last. Updated OP with **stuff**

A new challenger approaches! gillywibble is looking for some easy meat, ahem, a challenge ;)

Nice boards, nice work. Like it.

Moves to be made in the format [chess piece][row number][column letter] to [destination row number][destination column letter]

Notation can be a lot simpler. You don't need to say where a piece already is, just where it's going to.

For instance, on the new board as it is now, Nf3 means you move the right-hand most Knight to square f3. You don't need to specify the left-hand most knight because it's impossible for it to move there.

K = King, Q = Queen, B = Bishop, R = Rook, N = Knight [since the 'k' is already taken for King].

If we moved the knight to square f3 and it captured another piece, this would be written Nxf3.

Final piece of info is that you never need to specify a pawn, there is no letter for pawn. So my opening move for the game would simply be e4. There is only one pawn which can move to e4, so there it is.

There are a couple more things you should know but we'll address them as they happen.

So my move = e4

Hold up hold up! :p

I'll update the OP with moves this evening, including mine :D

Edit: With the notation thing, we'll struggle through. I think I get what you are saying Lysander
 
OK, mine is a boring pawn e7 to e5

Updating OP with the other moves

If the pace is too slow, you're free to concede in shame ;)
