• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
So my friend I_play_for_ELO, and myself, after many suggestions to introduce chess to BGA, have agreed to it. We sacrificed our time on numerous trials, which even succeeded in a finished game, which can be seen here: pl.boardgamearena.com/#!group?id=1036171
After getting a very positive feedback on our work (especially I_play_for_ELO’s template) we’ve decided that although playing inside a group allows the players to get back to their game and not lose it during connection losts or server crashes, it would be nice to also have a chance to have a quicker game at the game chat.
That’s where the problems started. The results of the sabotages from BGA can be seen on the attached printscreens. I’d also like to add that we’ve tested the chat system and it had no problems with anything not connected with chess. • Which browser are you using?

I must say that the culprit is alas more powerful. It is indeed the mighty old wizard who decided that lines would be wrapped on spaces or punctuation character!
But you can thwart him and enjoy your chess addiction by using only non space, non punctuation characters in your template, such as:
8⋮║♜⋮♞⋮♝⋮♛⋮♚⋮♝⋮♞⋮♜
7⋮║♟⋮♟⋮♟⋮♟⋮♟⋮♟⋮♟⋮♟
6⋮║♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺
5⋮║♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺
4⋮║♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺
3⋮║♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺⋮♺
2⋮║♙⋮♙⋮♙⋮♙⋮♙⋮♙⋮♙⋮♙
1⋮║♖⋮♘⋮♗⋮♕⋮♔⋮♗⋮♘⋮♖
(which I'm sure you can find some ways to improve) and detaching the chat to have sufficient horizontal space to see all characters.
I sincerely hope that this information will see you safely through to many checkmates!
(and thanks for the good laugh ;) )
