Library Items Chessboard

The Chessboard is where your library analysis begins to take shape. Every move you play here is automatically recorded and saved into your profile — no manual action required. It serves as the central workspace for visualizing ideas, testing variations, and refining your understanding of each position.

The Chessboard Card combines a powerful analysis engine with an intuitive, interactive design:

• ◦ On the left, you’ll find the Stockfish evaluation bar, showing real-time engine analysis — greyed out unless Stockfish analysis is active in your Analytics Card.
• ◦ On the right, a fully responsive chessboard displays your current position.

Beneath the board are several key controls for navigation and management:

• ◦ Reset – Return to the starting position
• ◦ Back / Next – Step through moves in your current line
• ◦ Flip Board – Toggle orientation between White and Black
• ◦ Save to Library – Save the current position directly to your Position Library
• ◦ Practice Position – Instantly train against this position in Practice mode

The chessboard supports rich visual annotations to help you plan and communicate ideas:

• ◦ Arrows – Draw arrows by right-click-dragging between squares
• ◦ Highlights – Right-click a square to highlight it
• ◦ Choose between four highlight colours:
  • ◦ Blue – Default
  • ◦ Green – Hold Ctrl
  • ◦ Red – Hold Shift
  • ◦ Orange – Hold Alt

All interactions — moves, highlights, arrows, and board state — are saved automatically to your library item in real time. No need to click Save — your progress is always preserved.

Note: The chess pieces and board theme can be customized in Profile / Preferences page.
