Pieces are selected from the piece bars on the right. Click one or more squares to
deposit pieces there.
The left mouse key gives you the selected colour, the right key the opposite
colour.
Click a second time to remove the piece or drag it off the board.
You can also drag a piece you have already deposited to another square on the
board.
If you start position entry in a board window then the board position will be
offered (which you can modify). The Reset button sets up the starting position, Clear
board removes all pieces.
Mirror the position along the x- and y-axis with King <-> Queen, White <-> Black.
When you have entered all the pieces you must specify which side it is to move,
whether either side can still castle and if an en passant capture is possible in the next
move (give the file a – h on which the capture can be made). If the notation shouldn't
begin with move number 1 you can enter a different move number.
