droidfish usage question

Post by chesskobra »

I sometimes like to load positions from fen/epd files in droidfish, and think about them. But whenever I open a position, droidfish starts an engine and makes the move for the side to move. But I don't want to play a game from that position. I just want to think about the position. How can I stop droidfish from starting an engine?

Ideally, I would like to load the positions in study mode or play mode, and if I choose play mode, I would like to choose which side I want to play. Is this possible?

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for, and in fact I looked at the M button, and missed the specific option. My bad.

Great app; thanks a lot for developing it.
