Blitz 'analyse board' / 'freestyle' / or such like
24 Jan '09 02:07There is currently no function on Blitz games that allows a player to move pieces from both sides in a similar manner to "analyse board" in the correspondence games.
I realise this is not something that people really need during a blitz game with time limitations - but once a game has finished and players are scrolling back through the notation replaying the game, it would be very handy to be able to play through different moves/lines and examine where they lead.
There is some coding currently in place that recognises when a game is finished (checkmate/resignation/timeout/abandonment) and at this point no board pieces can be moved by either side. Would it be a simple process to add an analyse board feature (or something similar) at this point? or am I showing my programming incompetence?
