Add a diagram where you want it in the game notation using the move context menu (right click on a move and choose add comment, click the diagram button and optionally enter some text and click ok). You will then see [diagram] in the notation and this is where a diagram will be inserted when you print.

Yes that works too, but not really want I want to do. If I wish to print JUST the board from one of my games within any database, I am unable to just print only the board on its own. I only get the game score, yes I can add the board doing want you told me. I also know I can copy it over to chipboard etc, etc, but just thought I could have done it within C.E. but it seems not.

Ok, I think I understand what you mean. You have a game with notation (moves, comments etc) and while you can add a diagram anywhere and print the game moves and diagram you really prefer to just print the position at any point in the game without any moves?
That is currently only possible in HCE when the notation has no moves, but we will consider that as a potential feature for the future. Are there other customers who would find that feature useful?
What is the purpose of just printing the position, is it to set quizes from game positions or something else?

Yes, exactly that. To set a quiz from a position.Mark Uniacke wrote: What is the purpose of just printing the position, is it to set quizes from game positions or something else?
Right now I am practicing the B+N mate, and I'd like to save the key positions that repeatedly trip me up. I realize there are many other programs to print a chess position, but the smoothest workflow would be to click within Hiarcs (while reviewing one of my B+N practice sessions) and select "Print position."
Thanks, Mark.

It's hard to quiz myself when the answer is visible right under the problem diagram. (In fact, I'm surprised how many otherwise interesting chess puzzle books get this wrong.)
I'd like to be able to print the diagram straight from Hiarcs, and then I can write the answer on the back of the printout. So I can look at the front, work out what I think is the answer, and then turn it over to check. This is not high tech - it's just a simple workflow that doesn't require firing up some other program.
