An interactive chess visualizer maps control, contested squares, and piece support, with opening lines and FEN positions to explore.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-01 issue.
For
Chess players studying positional control and openings
Worth noticing
The opening explorer lists 30 lines, including named variations and their move sequences.

Field notes

The opening library pairs each listed variation with a move sequence and ECO code, making the examples identifiable rather than just labeled by broad opening family. Board display options include attack rays and ratio bars alongside square-level inspection. The extracted homepage names a Methodology section, though its explanation is not present in the supplied text.
