The problem is that there were often lots of different authors over the years, and many lines change evaluations. We obviously can't rewrite the eBooks every month, just make small adjustments, so unless the line is really clear you have to look at the appropriate games to see what that author thought of the line.

I don't think they are possible with YaBB Forums, but I might be wrong, I'll have a look.

I'd like to express (and just in words) strong agreement with kylemeister here.

I'm the other way -- I'm rather glad to have at least one forum to go to which doesn't use "likes."

I don't know what others think, but I've never liked all those square brackets around the annotations in pgn4web, but maybe it's possible to remove them?

The forward and back buttons are easy to hit. 

That interface is designed to PLAY chess, as opposed to read analysis and follow along on a board. I don't see where 6 lines of text and variations would go. 

I sketched out a few ideas, here's one:

Only works on mobile devices (or in firefox/chrome you can click F12 for developer mode and then find the icon for 'responsive design mode').

You can move forward or backwards, one ply at a time, and can click on moves when they appear in text.

Things I plan to change: 
1. The variations doesn't appear on their own lines, and aren't indented, as is done in most chess GUI's. 
2. game text & analysis could be in a box which the user can scroll through,and which autoscrolls as the moves are played. 

3. (optional) To get more space, I considered using the RIGHT side of the chessboard as the 'move forward' button and the LEFT side would be the 'move backwards' button. 

Off to the store to get an old used android phone -- to replace yesterday's old used android phone which isn't starting today!?

Can mobile phone users please suggest any online chess board(s) they find pleasant for replaying games. They should include a short description of what they like about it and an example url.
Many thanks!
