Hey Russ, in the new analyse board en passent won't show up, you still have to revert to removing the piece manually and then putting your pawn back to the right square.

Oh, that pawn shadow on the board is just a proof of concept, not a final board. (Although it could remain, I quite like it now!)

Please please please don't keep that shadow on the new board when you will implement everything.

Consider it gone. It was never planned for release anyway. Freddie, I'll get a pawn less board up asap

To all: you have a lot to look forward to. The new interface is really great and the flip board and new analyse board really help. In a word (or two): it rocks!

Good, glad to hear it. Because, although not obvious, everything works very differently, which is why it was a bit of a monster of a job. Making it look and work like the old board was half the challenge.
I haven't seen a similar board painter aspect of the board analysis page out there on the web before, so as far as I know, that is a first.
Freddie, if you have no problems over the next couple of days, more people can come on board too.

Originally posted by RussOk sure. Could you please explain what the point of the "Action Number" is in the analyse board. I'm sure there is a good reason for it I just can't work it out. Is it the ply count? If so, when you go back to the start position the ply count keeps counting and does not realise that you are back where you started again. Is this intentional?

Quick example, you move 10 pieces, but decide to change your line. You can rewind 5 actions (viewing action 5 of 10) then start a new line by moving another piece. You will the truncate the history at action 5 and be viewing action 6 of 6.
I hope this makes sense.
