Among all the disturbing news and unfriendly disputes one reads on Twitter it is always refreshing to see a beautiful chess position. Many people share interesting positions. However this is usually done as picture. Nobody with a short attention span engages with such a picture if more analysis is required. So we introduced a way to share positions for interactive analysis: a layout with a big notation and an integrated engine. This will copy a link to a playable position into your clipboard.

Our traditional layout emphasized the first board. If you prefer this (at cost of the other board sizes) uncheck "Boards Same Size".">Replaying games on a mobile phone The most practical improvement of our news pages is game replay on mobile devices.
