+### `getPieceIndexAt(x, y)`
+
+```javascript
+getPieceIndexAt(x, y);
+```
+
+**Description:**
+
+Returns the board position index at the given canvas coordinates using the internal hitmap. If the coordinates do not intersect any position, `-1` is returned.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `x` (number): The x-coordinate on the renderer canvas (in pixels).
+- `y` (number): The y-coordinate on the renderer canvas (in pixels).
+
+**Returns:**
+
+- `number`: The 0-based position index at the specified coordinates, or `-1` if none is found.
+
+#### Example
+
+```javascript
+const index = renderer.getPieceIndexAt(150, 220);
+if (index !== -1) {
+  console.log(`Found position at index: ${index}`);
+} else {
+  console.log('No position at these coordinates.');
+}
