Using another board image
It is possible to use another board image, by just assigning the location of this image to the brdimg variable.
This is demonstrated in the following example game between Alexander Mc Donnell and Louis Charles Mahe de la Bourdonnais, that has been played in 1834.

16. Nd6+ |
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 They liked the King's Gambit very much in those days 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.Nc3 some of these moves will be considered bad nowadays 5...gxf3 6.O-O c6 7.Qxf3 Qf6 8.e5 Qxe5 9.Bxf7+ Kxf7 10.d4 Qxd4+ 11.Be3 Qg7 12.Bxf4 Nf6 13.Ne4 Be7 14.Bg5 Rg8 15.Qh5+ Qg6 16.Nd6+ This is the most interesting part of this game 16...Ke6?
( The move 16...Kf8! is definitely better, but White still has 17.Qh6+ )
17.Rae1+!! Kxd6? 18.Bf4# 1-0
( The move 16...Kf8! is definitely better, but White still has 17.Qh6+ )
17.Rae1+!! Kxd6? 18.Bf4# 1-0
In the example above I have used brdimg=pcsdir+'wood29.jpg';
instead of wood29.jpg you may prefer to use another board image like:
- blue29.jpg
- borderline29.gif
- cowderoy29.jpg
- gray29.jpg
- graystone29.jpg
- green29.jpg
- ivorygreen29.jpg
- lightestgray29.jpg
- lightgray29.jpg
- marblebrown29.jpg
- rob29.jpg
- sepia29.jpg
- slatebrown29.jpg
- wood29.jpg
but it is rather easy to create you own background image and just point brdimg to this url.
Two more attention points:
- If you always want to use another board image then add this javascript statement to your template.
- If you only want to use it for one board then don't forget to set it back at the end of the javascript code in the post

Hi, just wondering if you've tried chessflash.com and if so what you think of it, compared to other alternatives? And two, any thoughts on which blog site is best for chess content?

I'll have a look at chessflash.com in the near future.
Regarding chess lessons I like ChessTeacherlessons.com very much, but I still prefer the Exeter Chess Club homepage.

Hi again!
Chess Teacher I've tried to use change my board image permanently but i couldn't find where to insert the code in my blogs html. I'm pretty sure it isn't very complex but still i couldn't figure it out.

Hi,
A possible place would be just after
<script src='http://sites.google.com/site/viewchessgame/js/gv.js' type='text/javascript'/>
There you have to enter something like
<script>brdimg=pcsdir+'wood29.jpg';</script>
