Suggestion for the site: Start an analysis board from any position

So many times have I had to open the board editor and copy an entire position into the board. It would be nice to (mid-study, mid-puzzle) open up an analysis board.

Computer analysis would likely be blocked for puzzles, despite the stance that puzzle rating is not competitive. And, of course, I exclude mid-game from this.

I am in a study presently and, as has been common, the study doesn't allow me a computer analysis, even after I have completed or failed the section. Why? I'm already done with the section. And nothing is stopping me, technologically or morally, from copying the position at that point into a board editor. Why not just allow me the ability to more easily do that?

@Forgeron-de-Pion you can use the fen of the postion under the share section to copy the postion

I can't think of a legitimate reason to open the position of a puzzle in the analysis board while I'm still trying to solve it - and once I'm done (successfully or not), turning the engine on is a matter of one click. For studies it's not so clear but my understanding is that if the author disabled the analysis, they had a reason, e.g. the study is meant to present some kind of an interactive challenge (in other words, something like a puzzle).

Thank you! This study disabled that function, but that's good to know for future reference.

I completely understand your perspective here, however, I'm talking about the situation after I have completed the puzzle! I want to just click over to an analysis board with computer function. It lets me use analysis board, but no computer.

I was trying to figure out why the opposite side didn't do a move that I thought would be better.

Whenever I finish a puzzle, wheter I succeed or not, or even after "resigning" by clicking the "show me the solution" link, I can immediately turn on the engine evaluation by clicking the slider on top of the move list. It's not exactly the evaluation board but it allows me to check alternative lines which is enough to see where I was wrong in either direction.

Here, this is the study:

Here, this is the study ... tell me if you can access a computer analysis in it
Comments #5 was about puzzles, not studies. And so was #4 that I was replying to.

@Forgeron-de-Pion the owner turned off because you meant to figure it out by yourself and dont need an engine.

But to get an engine do:

1. complete the puzzle
   2 analysis board once
2. then below the notation on the right there is 3 horizontal lines
3. click board editor
4. analyses board and done

thank you so much!!!

As I mentioned in to mkucebek in #4, I'm trying to use the engine after having solved the puzzle - I just need to see why other moves for the opposite side weren't chosen, in this situation. ^~^

...and as I replied in #5, once the puzzle is finished, you can simply click the slider to turn the engine on. It's literally just one click.
