- The text code is converted automatically, and there is a small chess Board in the Chat history appears.
- Then, the recipient of your message can make the first train. Unfortunately, there is no control via the touch screen. You have to enter all the moves manually and as a normal message send.
- The commands for drawing of the individual figures correspond to the ordinary chess Notation. So you can, for example, by train "@fbchess e4" his pawns on e4 (see Screenshot). The game field is then generated and in the Chat stored. Then you are back to the series.
- If you are familiar with the Notation unsafe, you can call up a list with all the commands. To do this, use the Code "@fbchess help"
