Showing Part of Board

Often only small part of board is important in variation. Diagram can specify visible area in board.

Do not show too small area, as it may confuse reader. Include one empty row and column in every direction.

Move number range

Avoid move number over 100, as these get hard to read, especially when there are lots of numbered stoned in diagram.

Variation and diagrams

Combining variations and diagrams allows diagrams that contain alternative continuations for example to show why certain move does not work. These diagrams often start move numbering from 1. This can be done by selecting Start numbering from 1 in diagram creation dialog.
