[I know this isn't the main feature of the project, but] I think if more chess clients offered the "view squares that are under attack" overlay then the world would be a better place. So many interesting, low-level casual games are destroyed by blunders.
- cauthon 4y agoSeeing attacks and tactics _is_ playing chess. That's like saying more FPS games need to offer aimbots because low-level casual games are destroyed by missing headshots. Both chess.com and lichess allow you to view attacks in the analysis, but I don't think it should be available in-game. Low-level or casual play in any setting is going to be characterized by blunders, that's what makes it low-level and casual.
- mikebenfield 4y agoSince that feature isn’t available on an actual board, it would really hamper your development as a player to use it when playing online.
- franknstein 4y agoMaybe it would actually help to develop internal vision and improve your chess.

- alar44 4y agoNo, it does the exact opposite. It's like spell check. I can't spell for shit anymore.
- ehulinsky 4y agoI didn't have it originally, but because of how much more complex the movement in this game is, it was almost impossible to avoid blundering everything.
