CIRCLE

*** CIRCLE ***

Command: circle
Usage  : circle 
Example: circle d4

Circle is a visual highlighting command which draws a colored circle on the
specified square. Its purpose is to add emphasis to commentary given by
the examiner of a game. For example, during a private lesson, a coach may
try to illustrate the influence of a knight on e5 by typing "circle c6"
followed by the commands "circle d7" and "circle f7" and "circle g6".

Other occasions for the use of the circle command: special event lectures,
group analysis sessions, and live ICC broadcasts from international 
tournaments and matches.

Recent versions of Blitzin allow the examiner to right-click to
place a circle, and ctrl-right-click to remove it.

To remove a circle at e5, use "uncircle e5".  Also, circles are
automatically erased from the board whenever someone plays a move
or steps forward or backward through the game.

Note that you must be examining a game in order to use the circle command.
