[XBoard-devel] Winboard blindfold options

[marc sachet]

Hello everyone ! 

Thanks for your time. 

I'd like to know if there any plan/topic/interest to
include in Winboard some specials blindfold features,
very populars in chess clubs for training purpose. The
one i liked the most as i'm no longer active in chess
clubs followed theses steps (the name was "differed
play" or something; sorry for the awkward and long
description) : 
* you set up with your opponent the number of moves
you want to differ (generally 2)
* then announce/type on the keyboard/.. a move BUT
don't play it on the board (e4 for ex.)
* The oppponnent replies BUT don't play it on the
board (e5 for ex.) => first move completed
* then the white reply BUT don't play it on the board
(Nf3 for ex.)
* The oppponnent replies BUT don't play it on the
board (Nc6 for ex.) => second move completed => the
board is visually on the inital position

* then White announced a move (Bb5) and actually plays
the first move he announced (e4)
* Black replies to white's Bb5 (ex: a6) and actually
plays his first move (e5) =>  now the board is
visually whith e4/e5 only
* The game now continues its way ...!

Believe me a powerful & funny tool to improve your
concentration and tactical & visual abilities !

To my knowledge, these feature doesn't exist on
commercial soft either.

Best regards

Marc
