Board Functions & Settings
Tactics Trainer
- Solve positions in "Tactics Trainer" mode.
- You will receive a puzzle rating and can track puzzles you have completed.
- You can have both text mode and puzzle mode enabled. This means that it is possible to show viewers the puzzle mode board, and have the solution available next to it.
- Note that when you enable tactics mode, it will take off from your last completed puzzle.
P.S: The red X does not mean that the puzzle is wrong, but rather that it has not been completed. You can stop the puzzles mode by clicking on it. It will become a green tick once solved.

Web app: click the bookmark icon on the top bar. To view saved bookmarks, click “My Books” in the top right-hand corner and go to “Bookmarks.”
Highlight & Visuals
The highlight tool enables you to emphasize important information.
