Enter a score, which defines the number of points the student gets for a correct solution. Also give scores for the other moves. In some cases you will want to give a negative score for a wrong solution.
Specify the time (in seconds) in which the solution must be found.

Default wrong allows you to define (or record) the text and possibly add graphic commentary that should appear if the student chooses the wrong move. There is a standard answer which you can set by clicking Default wrong.
In the help and feedback dialogs you can add coloured squares and arrows on the chessboard to demonstrate themes. You can even remove pieces by dragging them off the board – click the original square to get them back.
