Set-Piece Chess Site

Is there a free online site which allows you to play against an online opponent from a set piece position? Similar to Rhp but blitz games.

I know yahoo doesn't and I think Uchess doesn't also. Icc is cancelling it guest thing Aug 1 so that out also.

Anyone?

What about chess programs which allow you to play online against someone.

Does fritz let you play online against someone without using playchess?

I found that ICC let you do this, option wild 6 but it's not free anymore.

What about Fics or uchess. Do they allow wild/ set up games?

I guess Fics allows you to do this also.

I'm pretty sure FICS has examine mode,meaning it let's you set up any position you like,anyone can watch it and you can go back and forth as much as you like.Only thing is there won't be a time limit in case you want to play an actual game starting from a certain position.

Try to find a player that will play the moves so you can play a game from a given position.

So you need to be able to set up the position quickly so that you can get through a lot of puzzles in one session.

On FICS i don't think you can play from a set piece

examine mode is the closest thing you can get...

Ya that's what I want, the examine thing.

I can set it up and make the moves and the observer can watch.

Do you have a fics account Shinidoki? I want to see if it will work. Feel like solving some tactic puzzles?
