The diagram position will change as you navigate through the game and the last move played will be displayed beneath the board. It will also be highlighted in the game text on the right side of your screen. This feature is very helpful in following analysis.

Use PGN display
You can also navigate through a game by clicking on the moves printed on the right side of the screen. The main line is printed in bold-type black and the variations are printed in green. Click on any move in the main line or any variation and the diagram will reflect the appropriate position. You can alternate between the two navigation methods whenever you choose.
Experiment with position
The dynamic solution board allows players to experiment with the position by clicking on the piece you wish to move followed by the square you wish to move to (drag and drop doesn't work). When finished analyzing a line, press a button on the navigation bar to return to the PGN text.
