Tools help

Once I saw options to do things like draw lines plotting diagonals etc  so you could keep an eye on where different pieces could end up etc.  I can't find it again.  I'd like to, say, on my daily games, draw lines plotting possible trajectories of my own and opponents pieces - is that possible?  I've searched but can't find any info on this.   Many thanks

no

I know that seems a pretty definitive answer but I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.  Right click to highlight a square etc.  Maybe not on the daily games but somewhere else?  

I like to call this "Destination check" almost all of my blown games come from hurried moves and not checking the destination square for traps and pins. Basic non-thinking.

yep it's exactly that - also, sometimes I've already worked out where say their bishop will be able to cover then I forget/overlook it in a move or two.  have you seen where it can be done?  it's not cheating is it?  i could do my own version but i'm sure there's a way to do it on chess.com already

For daily games I can draw arrows and highlight squares with right clicking.

For live games there is a switch in the live chess settings (not the home settings).

EDIT: An arrow/highlight switch was recently added to the home-live settings.

Right - I'm in daily games.  I can highlight squares by right clicking.  They turn red.  How do I draw lines and arrows please?

Press the right click button of the mouse and then trace the path of the arrow. For a trackpad, press the lower right corner and trace.

Great.  Thanks so much.  I knew I'd seen it.  Now, I think you can change the colours of the arrows?  So I could have one colour for me and one for my opponent?   Or am I getting a bit carried away now?  Cheers!

The arrows are only drawn in orange.

You can highlight squares in red (right click), green (shift, right click), or blue (alt, right click).

Great.    Many thanks.
