Setting up a position

 

When you wish to start a game from a certain position or evaluate one, it is necessary to set and remove various chess pieces on the board. The Edit Position choice from the Edit menu will help you in putting pawns and others in place.

 

Obviously a position can also be stored and re-calledfrom a database

 

When you start the setup position, a toolbar appears which contain the chess pieces, an empty field and a checkmark. To clear a field click on the empty field button then on the field(s) you want to clear.

Pieces already on the board can be dragged to the desired position. To add a new piece first select the piece on the toolbar, then just drop it on the board.

All functions are also available as context menu by clicking the right mouse button.

 

If the setup is to your liking press the checkmark on the toolbar which brings you to the Castle rights dialog
