What does 盤面 mean here?

盤面 is read ばんめん.

It literally means the surface of a board, but in many contexts it also means the state or position on the board. So in games like shogi, chess, or go, it often refers not just to the physical board itself, but to the current arrangement of pieces or stones.

So depending on context, 盤面を確認する can mean things like:

• check the board
• check the board position
• check the current game state on the board

Why is を used after 盤面?

を marks the direct object of the verb.

In this sentence, the thing being checked is 盤面, so it takes を:

• 盤面 = the board / board position
• を = object marker
• 確認する = to check / confirm
