Description
Ever tried to annotate a live game in a notepad, only to find the PGN won't import into your favorite analysis app? Or had to hunt down a single, game-breaking typo, move by painful move?
That's why Chess - PGN Annotator was created: your perfect chessboard-side assistant.
Leave typos and distractions behind. For move entry, you have two powerful methods designed for every play style:
♟️ Virtual Chessboard: For visual, error-free input. You can either drag the piece like on a real board, or tap the start and end squares for maximum speed and precision. ⌨️ Smart Keyboard: Ideal for those who love traditional notation or want to get comfortable with it. It only shows valid characters, guiding you move by move toward a perfect PGN.
✍️ Go beyond the moves and tell the story of the game. Add your critical comments to capture key moments, or use standard NAG symbols (like "!" or "??") to evaluate a move at a glance. Your thoughts and insights are now an integral part of the PGN, creating a rich, personal game record.
🛡️ Unlike apps built for playing, there is no chess engine here. It's impossible to cheat or accidentally spoil a game. It's a pure tool, a sanctuary created just for annotation, ensuring the integrity of your study and your game.
📤 Once your game is annotated, you are in full control. With a simple tap, you can:
• Copy the entire PGN to the clipboard, ready to be pasted anywhere. • Export the game to a .pgn or .txt file for archiving. • Share the notation with friends or coaches via your favorite apps.
Note: You can just as easily copy, export, or share a single FEN position.
📥 Working on an existing game? The Import function offers maximum flexibility: load a game from a .pgn or .txt file, or simply paste the notation from the clipboard to start editing or continue annotating it right away.
🏛️ Want to learn from the giants of the past? Explore the Classics gallery, a curated library of history’s most legendary chess games. Relive these masterpieces in a dedicated, read-only environment optimized for pure study and appreciation of the game’s heritage.
