CHESS: HOW TO EMBED A FULL CHESS GAME IN A BLOG

In this blog post I challenged myself to learn how to embed an entire game into a blog post, specifically this current blog post. I succeeded without too much difficulty. I've embedded a rather wild game from the Spassky versus Fischer World Championship Match in Reykjavik in 1972.

To get it to work (using the information on chessbase link), the PGN file is pasted into the HTML between DIV tags as follows:

Then some Javascript needs to be pasted in so that the ChessBase server can be accessed.


This is similar to how LaTeX gets rendered when I'm creating a mathematical post. While viewing in a browser in Android however, the LaTeX doesn't get rendered whereas with the embedded chess game, it does. However, in the Blogger app for Android, it is not displayed.

I guess what I need to investigate now is what control I have over how the game appears and what other chess websites provide this sort of service.
