The link holds the whole game after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server. Use the arrow keys to step, and Space to play or pause.

Nothing is stored or sent. The game is read in your browser and forgotten when you leave.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste the game, drop a PGN file on the box, or open the sample.
