is there a way to get the positions with black to move?

I thought about this when I was creating the tool. I thought it's not really relevant since you are choosing positions based on evaluations. If it's a balanced position, it doesn't matter whose turn it is. White or Black only matters if you are starting from move 1, otherwise the game is symmetrical.

Hey there, looks great, thanks!!! Do you happen to have a public twitter profile, I posted about your project there and wanted to give you credit...

Thank you very much for posting on twitter! I will take all the publicity I can get :)
However, I do not use twitter and don't intend to. You can link to the website (which I see you have already done) or link to this blog post on lichess.

Truly awesome work, super!

Perhaps a cool feature would be to select random game, from one's own games.

Thank you. That sounds like an interesting suggestion. In terms of implementation it is not too difficult. However, a given user's games are not guaranteed to have evaluations stored in the lichess db. Given that, it could be a very small set of games; or with the caveat that the random position could be wildly favouring one side.

Staying away from twitter, a wise decision! ;)

Certainly, I mean own games that do have computer analysis, I assume such are findable in the DB. Keep up the great work.
