i don’t think that’s cheating it’s just a bit of help so that you don’t have to imagine it and can actually see it the moves are still coming from your head so you’re not really cheating

It's definitely not cheating - there's quite literally an analysis section for daily games (at least on mobile) where you can just test moves or visualize positions. On computer I also believe there are conditional moves which is similar.

You can click analysis in the app and get an online board you can make moves on, so it’s definitely not cheating in daily, I wonder about this in longer rapid games tho, I’d assume it’s not allowed but idk

I had thought of doing this before, but this is the first time I’ve done it.
It occurred to me that this is illegal, but I don’t think so. Yes, it’s an artificial aid, but my game isn’t influenced by any outside source.
I’d like to hear from anyone who disagrees (or agrees). If Martin says I’m cheating, I will offer to resign.

That's explicitly allowed in Daily Chess

#5 would a second board be allowed in live chess? I’d assume not but I didn’t see anything in there about it (didn’t read the whole thing tho)

since it is daily, chess.com themself has an option to make moves on an analysis board with database (but no engine) si that means physical or online, as long as you don't use an engine, it is allowed
