Maybe an Opera bug?
I only use Opera, so that might be the problem...
A slight prob is that it has completely replaced the game history - but has no "return to game" button. So when I go into game history from an active game (usually to see why on earth I made that heinous blunder!) I have to use the browser's back button to return to the game.

Well, what is the British spelling anyhow?

On the matter of functionality however, (now that I've got my cake and I'm feeling a bit peckish...)
How about right click -> options
"change piece"
"remove piece"
"add piece"
That should cover
(a) mistakes
(b) En passent
(c) pawn promotion
(d) going back a little, but not to the start
That's the problem with people: they are never satisfied... 🙂

It's a good feature.

The game history is there too: when you enter, it is at the current point: you can use the game history controls at the top right to go through your game history just like before.
A good bit of design that Russ.
Means you can analyse (a.k.a. analyze) the board from any position in the history. Well done!

One small problem though - if you "take" a piece, then retract the move, the piece stays taken. Tough one to get around I know..
Yeah, this was as designed. The interface suddenly gets a little bit more complcated if I provide this feature. I may add an 'add piece' option at a later date.

that's a little annoying but being able to reset the board from any previous (actual) position after moving pieces around is a real bonus.

I've been using this feature all weekend.....thought I might wear it out ! What would be nice is to have a skip function as well. I find when I analyze and usually print I don't want to return to the game so skipping to the next game would be a nice option !
This might get the "new feature of the year" award !

That was quick!
Many thanks Russ.
