Allow users to enter FEN code to setup the chessboard
When I reach a difficult situation, playing against a computer, I like to get a bit of help from nextchessmove.com -- this tool is AMAZING! especially for a player at my level (ranking 750) I find it, however, very tedious to drag-and-drop pieces around when I first want to set up the board. I wouldn't mind just typing in the FEN code (e.g. FEN 2k5/2p2p1p/p1q3p1/8/8/1n4N1/r4PPN/6K1 b - - 0 1) and then pressing a Go button to see the chessboard, select options from the right-hand side and ask for next move :-) That would be so much easier for me.
Thank you!

Thanks everybody for the idea and the votes! I just pushed out a feature that allows you to paste FEN. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Just put your FEN code in the URL after http://nextchessmove.com/?fen=
like: http://nextchessmove.com/?fen=2k5/2p2p1p/p1q3p1/8/8/1n4N1/r4PPN/6K1 b - - 0 1
