How to create a study where it is "Black to move..."? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I'm creating a tactics study where I use a FEN for the position. I want do make a study where it is blacks to move. But all studies I creat with a FEN end up as whites to move. How can I fix this issue?

Here's the FEN for the starting position:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

The 'w' indicates that it's white to play. Just change that to 'b'.

After the 8 slash-delimited lines that describe where all the pieces are, the 'w' or 'b' shows whose move it is, the KQkq stuff indicates where castling is still legal, and the 0 and 1 are counters for how many times the position has been repeated and how many moves since the last pawn move or capture (for the purpose of claiming draws).
