In the bottom right-hand corner see "Game History".You can reset and move anywhere through the game from there.From any square by "right-clicking" you open "Manipulate Pieces" box which enables any position to be set-up by adding and removing pieces.Allows illegal moves just like the old-fashioned practice boards.

So instead of clearing the board you have to take pieces off one at a time?? Seriously?
These boards are only 50% useful since you can't tell (needless to say I'm new to the game)
if a move is illegal or not - how do people post gameboards in blogs and the forums?
Thanks for answering.

If an Analyse Board told you whether a move was legal or not it would count as "computer assistance" and would, strictly speaking, be against the rules of this site.

All the people on this site and no one can be bothered to help someone out?

Originally posted by RagwortInteresting, I never thought of it that way. I assumed it was to allow you to set up "what-if" situations and see how to work towards them without the pesty rules getting in the way. 🙂 In any case the play board does let you know about any illegal moves with the dreaded pink square reboot.

Originally posted by RagwortOh, I had no idea, on Gameknot the analyse board shows which moves can be made and the practice boards can be cleared and reset. I'll go to the Help and FAQ, I didn't realize sites varied so much. I thought I was missing something. Thanks very much!
