Also, I would like to see a time handicap feature. That's it, one can set up two different time control to play the game whether it be for Blitz, or Tournament with or without Bonus Time for each time. A voice which will announce the moves, I would like that feature because some of us don't use the computer screen to stare the chessboard, but an actual board, also this would help if one is playing blindfold chess against the chess engine. These are some of the suggestion I would like to see, I'm sure other users will have more suggestions. Laurence
