Custom Scenarios

Hey fellow chess fanatics!

I feel like I need a bit of help on my endgame and I have some online friends that feel the same.  I have been trying to challenge them to games that I set to unrated and I would like to be able to load a custom endgame scenario or two for us to play out together as practice.  The only options it really seems to give me in this respect are some standard openings and defenses that are pre-set.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can load my own homemade starting position for us to play out?  or am I limited to the starting positions provided by the system?

Any help in this are would be much appreciated, Thanks!

you can play any custom position against a (relatively strong) computer, not a person- for free!

Thanks!  But I really would like to do it against a live opponent as we both need to practice and we could also discuss.  Does anyone know a way to do that logistically on this site?

I will check out the link though for some solo practce!

If one of you is a premium member, he could try to create a private analysis board in Live Chess, set up the position you want to practice and then invite the other as a student. Check this out:

Great Thanks! 

quick question for HappyUngulate..  do you find the premium membership worth the cost.  I mean, is it a good value for what you pay?

Thanks again, your suggestion was very helpful.

Glad to be of service.

I signed up mostly for of the video lessons and ChessMentor. I'm really happy with those and I think the price is OK for what you get.

I have upgraded... definetly worth it!  And the live analysis is great.  Had to learn a bit about FEN notation, but it is quick and easy.  Thanks!  Best way to accomplish what I was trying to set up.
