Hello. Welcome to the 56th Annual Pittsburgh Chess League blog. On this site we will post games from league play. Enjoy.

INTRODUCTION: HOW TO USE THIS SITE... There will be a number of games displayed directly in a PGN (portable game notation) viewer on this main page.  You can play through these games by clicking on the arrow buttons. You can even skip to the end position or flip the board. I will only post a few games at a time like this.  The rest/ majority of the games you will have to copy/ paste into the PGN viewer yourself.
      Please refer to the general instruction page.  It's link is on the right.  Thanks. PL.

To get a taste of how this works here is a game of mine (PL) from last season. As you can see, the PGN viewer supports computer analysis.

Hi, PL here. In the first round of the season, I am playing first board for Guild. Our opponent is the Monroeville Chess Club Dark Knights. Our team won the match 3-1. You can play through the game by clicking on the arrow buttons in the pgn viewer below.
