Searching for Chess Diagram Setup

I have found a game or a position, and I want to share it with you. How to do it?

STEP 1. This is the game:

[Event "Moscow"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1914.02.04"]
[EventDate "?"]
[Round "1"]
[Result "0-1"]
[White "Ossip Bernstein"]
[Black "Jose Raul Capablanca"]
[ECO "D63"]
[WhiteElo "?"]
[BlackElo "?"]
[PlyCount "58"]

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3 Be7 5. Bg5 O-O 6. e3 Nbd7 7. Rc1 b6 8. cxd5 exd5 9. Qa4 Bb7 10. Ba6 Bxa6 11. Qxa6 c5 12. Bxf6 Nxf6 13. dxc5 bxc5 14. O-O Qb6 15. Qe2 c4 16. Rfd1 Rfd8 17. Nd4 Bb4 18. b3 Rac8 19. bxc4 dxc4 20. Rc2 Bxc3 21. Rxc3 Nd5 22. Rc2 c3 23. Rdc1 Rc5 24. Nb3 Rc6 25. Nd4 Rc7 26. Nb5 Rc5 27. Nxc3 Nxc3 28. Rxc3 Rxc3 29. Rxc3
[The 29-th Black move is not shown here, but it is shown on chessgames.com, where I found it. You can see and study the position that is shown at the end of this post (if your web browser can show it and only if internet server of "jinchess" works). What is best move? You can check it online, for example here: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1261680
]
STEP 2. But I want you to show how I am sharing the game position that is after move "29. Rxc3", and I am going to:
http://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editor
STEP 3. I am clicking "Game editor"
STEP 4. I am clicking "paste PGN", and paste moves to the window that opens.
STEP 5. With arrows or clicking on moves, I am going to a position that I want you to show.
STEP 6. When the position is found, I click on "Position Setup". IMPORTANT: Before clicking "copy FEN to clipboard", just click on any piece on the board!
STEP 7. Now I click on "copy FEN to clipboard". I want to show you this position, and it's FEN is:
3r2k1/p4ppp/1q6/8/8/2R1P3/P3QPPP/6K1 b - - 0 29
STEP 8. Now I am going to: http://www.jinchess.com/chessboard/composer/
STEP 9. I am clicking on "Set FEN", and paste the code there.
STEP 10. Then I click on "Update Diagram". "Diagram URL" is generated. It is above all boards in a virtual box with the title "Diagram URL".
STEP 11. I am copying the link and showing it to you:
http://www.jinchess.com/chessboard/?p=---r--k-p----ppp-q------------------------R-P---P---QPPP------K-&tm=b
STEP 12. But I want you to show the position here - in this page. I am going to learn it here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp They say I can show you it with "img src=". Here I am using this code:
<img src="http://www.jinchess.com/chessboard/?p=---r--k-p----ppp-q------------------------R-P---P---QPPP------K-&tm=b" alt="FEN 3r2k1/p4ppp/1q6/8/8/2R1P3/P3QPPP/6K1 b - - 0 29">
, and therefore you can see:
FEN 3r2k1/p4ppp/1q6/8/8/2R1P3/P3QPPP/6K1 b - - 0 29
Black moves and wins.
Webpage "Chessgames.com" has "game collections". This game was taken from "AMAZING CHECKMATE!" collection "Compiled by marknierras". This is the link to the collection:
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1015457
You can "Search entire game collection library":
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/collections
I entered "checkmate" there, and I got six pages of collections of lots of games:

Games and tournaments: projects, declarations, negotiations, voting, organizing, playing

Project process (that is possible on this blog) from creating to making it alive. Steps.

1. Create a game and/or tournament project. Useful questions to yourself - write out, check out - what do you like, what do you want?

2. Declare your projects. Write down your preferences and show them to us.

3. Negotiations. Talk about your project to others: Read what others like, want, need, prefer, think...

4. Voting. Find out community choices(preferences) within your project (within your project limits and even beyond them). (You can ask certain questions(as yes/no questions) in this blog and wait for answers, and count/analyze positive, negative or nonnegative answers.)

5. Choice. Choose one project of many possible variants, with your knowledge of community opinions(choices, ideas).

6. Organize. Prepare the project to be living. For example, find the best playing time, schedule, and announce it publicly.

7. You can use my blog:
A. As forum creating projects, getting various types of help.
B. As a project declaration board.
C. As a project discussion forum.
D. As a voting board.
E. As a certain source of knowledge and ideas.

8. Play! :)
Are your project is intended for playing?
The Project created and arranged?
Then let's play. :)
