help with playing from a particular moment

hi, is there anywhere on chess.com or maybe online elsewhere, where you can first set-up a chess board putting the pieces where you like (i.e. to depict a certain moment from a particular game), and then second, get shown the best moves from that moment (and with reasons why)?

I really like the app on my iphone called chess by Charlize Theron

Was like nine bucks but well worth it

Sure there's some free ones

Not possible on chess.com.

Play from FEN is a feature I and several others requested years ago but they have been busy making absolutely no changes to the site over the last three years.

(quick search on 'fen')

right, good to know. do you know any good sites online?

You'd be best off downloading a GUI (e.g. Arena) and a chess engine (Stockfish, Houdini) etc.

Just doing a search, it seems that there are iphone apps now that are based on Stockfish.  I saw something called Smallfish that looks pretty good and is free.  It uses the same Stockfish engine that is 3200+ strength.  Of course, its probably not going to play 3000+ strength on an iphone, but its free and looks easy enough to use.
