What problem does this solve?
Chess bloggers, teachers, and forum users who want to display a position on their own website currently have no way to do so from ChessVision. They must export an image and host it separately — losing interactivity and breaking if the image moves.
Proposed solution
Add an Embed action that generates a ready-to-copy <iframe> snippet for the current position.
Generated output:
<iframe
src="https://chessvision.org/embed?fen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1"
width="400"
height="400"
frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
Scope for this release:
/embed route that renders the board in minimal UI (no navbar, no panels)- Size selector before copying (small 320px / medium 480px / large 640px)
- Board theme and piece set reflected in the embed URL as query params
- One-click copy to clipboard
- Works from the main board editor
Out of scope:
- Interactive piece movement inside the embed
- Move list playback
- Custom branding/colors via embed params
Who needs this
Chess bloggers, online teachers, Wikipedia editors, Reddit/forum users, and anyone publishing chess content on the web. Lichess offers this feature and it is one of their most-used sharing tools.
