I have a game going the old fashioned way. Can I set it up on the computer, positioning the pieces where they now stand on the board?

If so, how?

Sorry, using Redhotpawn.com only. I have no other chess program. Can you help?

Hmmm...this is getting me nowhere. What I am asking is that there must be a way to "start" a game, using redhot pawn, with the pieces in different positions (i.e., in my case, the positions of where the game is at the moment). In this way my friend and I could continue our game on-line....the one we started with a wooden chess board!

Any clues?

When you start a game there's an advanced options link at the bottom. Then in the advanced options there's a box you can click to set up the pieces.
