A free positions Chess editor tool with semi-transparent window copy mode - Windows Freeware. The simplest way to copy chess diagrams from one program or web page to another quickly and easily. Copying chess diagrams with a classic position-editor is hard work : you must have both your position-editor and your document/web page application open, and must constantly go back and forth between the two. It becomes a tennis match of sorts: Looking at the diagram you wish to copy in application A, switching over to application B to place the piece, and going back to application A to verify the accuracy of the layout,...etc. With DiagTransfer you transfer the diagram by setting the DiagTransfer window in semi-transparent mode and resizing a board on the diagram to be copied.

At this point, you have only to trace the pieces - no need to remember piece locations ! Even better, you dont need to change pieces, with the pieces-bar, with a new program capability you change pieces with a little mouse drag. Note : a piece-bar is still displayed if you prefer this method. DiagTransfer is the best tool to quickly capture a position when you watch a live chess game on a web page and want capture a position and paste it in a chess program.
