Help with Viewing a Game

Choose a game to view by clicking on the list below the chessboard.

Click on any move in the right hand box, and the board will display the position after that move. The mini light by the bottom right hand corner of the board will show which player is to move next. At any point in the game, if you want to analyse a variation then simply drag the pieces over the board using your mouse pointer, and the variation will appear as a new "line" in the move list on the right hand side. Any imbalance between the white and black pieces captured will be displayed below the moves on the right hand side.
