You have that on the website. When you're in a game, go in the "moves" tab and then click "analysis board".
A extension of the idea might be to link to an analysis board-type thing under the "Play" heading. That way, you could play live chess against your friends without an actual chessboard or having to sit at two different computers and logging in to separate chess.com accounts.

Game Explorer can do this (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/practice-board) - but you have to set up the position by playing the game from the beginning.
chessbase light is free. go to www.chessbase.com

I need the same thing... I wasn't able to find it through the above answers. What I (or we) want is just a practice board with pieces we can clear away and move around. To set up puzzles of our own, for example.

The board is kinda small.... but it does what I need for practice...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a simple piece of software I can use to recreate and model games on my computer. Not a chess engine or anything like that; just a board on my desktop, like the interface we use for games here. It would be much more convenient than having to set up a board every time I want to plan something out. (My default equipment is a little peg-style travel set. It's great, but playing through 15 moves to get to the desired position is a little wearing on the fingers.)
Thanks for any help!
