Online Xiangqi Position Editor

Online Xiangqi Position Editor

Set up Chinese chess positions online, generate FEN, save positions, and send them directly to AI analysis.

The position editor solves a practical problem: when you have a board position rather than a full game record, you need a fast way to set up the pieces, generate a standard FEN string, and continue analysis with the engine. It is useful for teaching, puzzle creation, endgame sharing, and saving critical review nodes.
