What it Does

Make Moves

You can simply move pieces on the board as if playing a game to get to any position you want. You can see the computer evaluation on the left will update for each move.

Set Up Position

You can freely move pieces across the board or remove them by dragging them off to the right. Customize the board by adding, relocating, or deleting pieces to your liking.

Below the pieces menu, you have the option to select whose turn it is in the drop-down, you can also flip the board, reset the board to the starting position, or trash all the pieces and get an empty board.

The O-O and O-O-O check-boxes let the computer know if white and black have the right to castle or not. A check in the box means yes, they can castle this way.

Below castling are text boxes for FEN and PGN to be pasted into. After pasting, click Load to load the position.
