In summary, the conversation is about resetting a chess game. The reset button is only used to restore the original position for analysis, not to restart the game. The participants suggest simply starting a new game instead. They also mention refreshing the page to reset the board to the last move, and ask for the thread to be deleted.

Sorry drizzle, I see what you mean now. The reset button is only to restore the original position should you have played around with all pieces for analysis or something.

The end of the game is just that. The end. Just start a new game.

What you can do is refresh the page and the board will reset to the last move as long as you didn't finalize the move.
