Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27675 (project xboard):
Indeed, WinBoard is no help in blindfold ICS play. Of course it would be
fairly easy to make it recognize style-9 moves. But this would essentially
turn it into a cheating device for blindfold play. That is not really a worthy
goal. OTOH, it is still easy enough to cheat in blindfold with old-fashioned
woodware.
Of course we could make the recognition of style 9 moves dependent on
"blindfold" being in force, and grey-out the blindfold option when in
IcsPlayingWhite/Black mode, so that people cannot switch back during a game.
But I wonder if that is worth it; if people want to cheat, they are going to
cheat.
As you suggest, the ICS bell should solve the attention problem.
