Game Problems -Interactive Board

I just bought a book that presents chess problems and puzzles to work on. I don't have a chess board and often travel and so I'd rather use an online interactive board that I can use. I've searched the forum but I'm not getting the information I'm looking for.

I'd like to start with a blank board and put the pieces as described on the book. Let's say the puzzle hinted mate in two. Then I can make my play and go back to the original settings whenever I guessed wrong.

Is there such a thing available on this site? Am I making any sense?
Thanks for any offer of assistance.

Go to "My games"

Click "Analyze board"
Setup the position (right click to add pieces/take pieces away)

That is cool. Thanks buddy.

I would not want the hassle of getting on line. I've downloaded a very cheap chess programme for my iPhone which serves as my pocket chess set and it is very easy to set up a position. I often use it alongside a chess book when I'm away from home. I have the option to activate the chess engine and practice playing a position or testing a line - it is better than me. It will also save positions or whole lines / games as required. The only flaw is that my wife borrows my iPhone to check ebay, facebook, emails and .....

Haha. I don't think that's a flaw. It's more of a bug. 😉

Do you know if this program will work on a Blackberry Storm?
