Analysis Board Editor for Variants • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

In the Web app, you can select the variant in the Analysis Board Editor, but even if you select Crazyhouse there is no option to place pieces "in hand" for the players.

In the Android app, you can select the variant first then go to the analysis board to set up a position but the similar issue exists with Crazyhouse, in addition you cannot put in positions in AntiChess that are legal there but not in standard chess, .e.g kings removed or two of them with one player or the player to move attacking a king. (If you enter such a position it won't let you return to the analysis).

Studies of end-games in anti-chess are very useful (as with any variant, it's useful to know what a won endgame looks like, never mind how to play them). Pawn end-games in anti-chess are particularly interesting.
