    What do the symbols mean next to the game ID in the list of games? All but one of my games has a globe but the other one has what looks like crossed swords. Don’t know what the crossed swords mean.

    Thanks in advance for any response. I checked the FAQ and didn’t see this addressed.

    At the bottom of your "My Games" page will be a "legend" button - press that to get an explanation of the icons.

    Hey, Russ, look at the Legend list with Dark mode on. It needs work.

    I’d be more interested if my ability to make illegal moves on the analysis board is due to my phone and/or the fact I don’t use an app when playing on here.

    It's an analysis board. You can put pieces where you want. It's a 'what-if' simulator. You also can't make your move on this board, you have to go back to the main board.

    Hmm... you are not wrong. I'll get to that soon.

    Thanks for reply.

    I’m pretty sure (could be wrong) I’ve used analysis boards on the Internet in the past that prohibited illegal moves, but I guess allowing them is truer to a real analysis board (in real life,) though it’s obviously riskier.
