NEW: Place Emojis Directly on the ChessBoard

Hey, Team Beta!

It's now possible to place Annotations, Reactions, and Emojis directly on the chessboard while you are playing, watching, solving or analyzing! Any board on the site will work the same.  (Except for /live) 

Update: neither Arcade and Natural animation nor 3d boards currently support over the board emojis. 

Just press E + Left click anywhere on the board to bring up a menu of Emojis and go to town! 

There are 3 types of emojis:

- Annotations: Appear in top right of square. Are tied to current position rather than square and only remain while you are on the current position.

- Square Markers: Takes up full square and remains in place until you remove them or a piece lands on that square. Have fun with these guys as they have snazzy animations and sounds! 

- Reactions: Takes up the full square, but only lasts 1.5 seconds until they fade away. 

NOTE: Your opponent will not see these so no worries about annoying them. 

Notice also that each emoji has a hot key tied to it that is displayed at the top of the menu as you hover the options. There are more than 100, so good luck remembering them all, but you'll quickly learn your favorites!

Enjoy and please leave feedback in the comments!
