One question (for now): is it now possible to enter moves manually _without_ any
annoying hint system (which can't be turned off at least in CB light)? So if I
simply press on a piece and then instantly release, the piece won't move
anywhere and no target square is highlighted as being the suggested square.
If the system can't be turned off, please make a patch. It's not a hard thing to
program.
