Sounds more like Game Explorer than the Analysis Board.
Simple chess UI for analysis board
Sort:
Yes. Similar to that.
I am looking for a simple analysis board which accepts pgn/fen, allows me to work out the moves on the board and scroll through the moves like the tree structure in the game explorer.
Is there any such free software?
Thanks Schachgeek.
I use Windows Vista(switching to Win 7 and Ubuntu Linux next week). I will see which of these will work for me.
Hmmm... how was this resolved? I'm looking for something similar.
I don't bother anymore. For online games I just bookmark them and go to them and use the analyse feature on whatever site it was. I used to use apronus http://www.apronus.com/chess/wbeditor.php for online and chesscat when I used to keep old games on a computer http://www.chess.com/download/view/chesscat. This is old news though. Another alternative is just to put your games in a blog on chess.com. If you want to make it completely private, just save draft rather than submit.
What's with the necro?

Try my GUI:

It works exactly as you described it.
This is a screenshot with alternative moves offered:
I am not sure how the OP imagines to select the variation without clicking in the move list, or at least somewhere.
WinBoard/XBoard support variation trees: variations on the current move in the loaded PGN are displayed as comments in the Edit Comment window, and right-clicking them 'promotes' them to main line, so that you can navigate through them in the usual way (i.e. using <<, <, > or >> buttons, arrow keys or mouse wheel). And this again allows you to open the the sub-variations they recursively contain in the same way.
To return to the previous 'main line' you hit the 'Revert' menu item (or type its accelerator keystroke). This puts you at the position where the variation you are abandoning branched off.
You can also add variations to a game that did not contain them; in Edit Game mode any move that you enter (by dragging the piece, clicking the from- and to-square or typing it and pressing <Enter>) while keeping the Shift key down will not replace the existing move of the main line, but shelve the main line and create a new variation starting with this move. You can then again Revert to the old main line, but you can also hit the 'Annotate' menu item to revert to the main line AND add the abandoned variation as a PGN variation comment to the position where it started.
Does anybody know a free simple chess UI, which I can use for analysis? I am not looking for an engine; just the analysis board similar to the "analysis board & editor" at chess.com.
The feature I am mostly interested in is, it should be easy to select a variation without having to click inside the move list. Something similar to a tree structure.
For eg:
for this game: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 (2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d4( 3.. Qh4+ 4. g3 ))(2. d4 exd4) Nf6
If I scroll to move#2 it should offer me a choice of 3 variations and when I select 2.f4, it should proceed with that variation and again offer me choices when it sees a new variation at move 3 for black.
Hope you got the idea.
