Hi everyone,
I've started annotating my games recently, but I'm unsure how to set myself up for keeping those files long term. So far I've done the annotations on chesscom (where I play the most), but I prefer the UI of lichess. Seeing the annotations are embedded in the PGN files, I would expect them to carry over into Lichess (or any other chess program I might use someday.) However I just can't figure out how to import my games into lichess with the annotations intact!
I've gone the Tools / Import Game route, and the moves are imported fine. But the annotations don't display. I've tried to add the game to a study, but that doesn't show the annotations either.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks!!
Here's a quick sample pgn for reference:
