Only white pieces allowed to move in chessboard.js

Is there a way to configure chessboard.js so that only the white pieces can be moved by the user?

I don't know if this is still relevant 3 years later but you could try something like this:

if (piece.search(/^w/) === -1) {
     cfg.draggable = false;
}

I used something similar in my chess puzzle web page to stop all pieces movement when the puzzle is over and it works actually quite well.

Pretty sure the example can be adapted quite easily:

http://chessboardjs.com/examples#4002

Adapted code:

var onDragStart = function(source, piece, position, orientation) {  
    // if it's not white, don't allow drag
    if (piece.search(/^w/) === -1) ||
        return false;
    }
};

var cfg = {
  draggable: true,
  position: 'start',
  onDragStart: onDragStart
};
var board = ChessBoard('board', cfg);

Or just use the example in the documentation as-is, but don't change the orientation of the board.
