Introduction to Chess Microbase

Brennan has been nice enough to annotate his games on Chess Microbase, and then share them as comments to the corresponding tournament rounds on the chess club blog If there are others who's like to annotate on Chess Microbase, I'd be happy to post them here to share with our members. They're very easy to embed onto a blog.

Here's Brennan's most recent Round 3 game against Arman:

I may try using Chess Microbase to annotate my own games as well. It looks very clean, and everything is online. Check it out.
