Removing a piece and having your opponent move first?

I am playing with my grandson and want to spot him a piece but can not remove a piece in the "set up game" procedure. I did this before, was able to remove a piece - but 1. I had to move first. I can not remove the piece perhaps because I am on an iPad. Thanks to those that reply.

did you do it on the same account last time? i thought the advanced options could only be used if you had played 20 rated games...

Nope, I went where you set up the board to suit yourself.

I removed a piece but can't figure out how I did it.

You can change or remove pieces by double-clicking on them. You should get a sort of context menu after doing so where you can choose to remove, change the colour or type of the piece.

PRO TIP: You can move a piece on top of a matching piece for a quick way to delete pieces. This only works when you have more than one of a matching piece however.

P-

Right-click on the piece you want to move, one of the options it offers is "remove piece".

i'm sure set-piece games can only be set up when you've played 20 games, i remember getting annoyed with that with this account. or was that setting up a rating range when creating open invites... hhmm. maybe both.

edit: i see he was able to remove a rook, most have been the open invite thing...
