Version 8 step 11 (last+1): Other visualization training

I have added a new training, then a new step have been necessary:

This new training is named : "The board at a glance" , and  in spanish "Un vistazo al tablero".

  • The training consists of remembering what pieces are in a position, where they are, if they are attacked or if they attack other pieces. 
  • Previously, the user will be able to choose what characteristics he is interested in to remember.
  • It begins with 3 pieces and finished with 32.
  • Each block of training has a site associated, to the only effects of identifying each one from others.

The problem is there is no possibility of obtaining  original fens. The solution to ease my work, has been to create something like an OCR of image positions, which at this specific case is working very well. Only three concepts are handled : mark, deduce, and learn.
