A 'Drag and Drop' Chessboard

Here is a Cyber-Chess Flash Asset that you can use in your Chess Club meetings.

It is designed to be used on a whiteboard with the class, or by individuals on their own computer screens.

There is a choice of colour of chessmen for you to play with - black, white, ivory and red.

Moving the pieces

To move pieces you need to move your cursor to the position of the piece you want to move. You then need to 'mousedown' (press the left mouse button) on the piece. You then hold the mouse-button down and drag the piece to wherever you want it to be placed. Releasing the mouse-button will then place the piece in that position.

Ideas for using this Cyber-Chess Flash Asset.

Naming the pieces associated with the symbols.
Learning how to set up the board ready for play.
Naming the squares - co-ordinates e.g. d4, g6 etc.
Testing the group on setting up the board properly.
