Regex in PHP: dont match

[Mario Lacunza]

Hello,
Im new with regex and Im trying to found a simple pair of {} inside of a text with the next code but its not working, any idea?

the text to be searched is: {chesspos} {/chesspos}

between both some html text will be founded.

My code:
// expression to search
$regex = "#{chesspos}(.*?){/chesspos}#s";
       
// find all instances and put in $matches
preg_match_all( $regex, $row->text, $matches );

Try: $regex = "/\{chesspos\}(.|\n)*?\{\/chesspos\}/";
