If anyone fancies a set piece game, I'm interested in playing. I have two on the go at the moment 147571 and 147575. Anyone else playing set piece games at the moment? It would be good to have a filter or something on the public games page to just show set piece games maybe...

It's great isn't it?
I'm playing an endgame position from master games from both sides.

I agree. I haven't played any yet, but I think there's a lot of mileage in this. Playing odds games against higher ranked opponents, playing crazy games with lots of queens for example, taking over classic positions from the past...and perhaps the most invaluable use - a teaching aid.

Russ mentioned that developing this took a lot of work...good effort Sir!

It sure is. It gives the opportunity to play games from an equal position later in the game, which is a great learning opportunity.

And, playing the same game in different variations from both sites gives double insight (and surprisingly very little overlap).

great feature!

I really expected it to be a quick job, but it turned out to be anything but. As long as it proves useful, then I'm happy. 🙂
