Hello!

Can you help me? I would like to train my ability to think forward in chess. For this reason I would like to have a programm there I can make a move-and my oponent to - but there is no change on the board! When I make my next move - I can see the last one - and so on.
Of course it would be necessary to have make programms that show the move after -2 moves, 3 moves, 4 moves and so on. Can you make such programms - or is it too difficult? I hope you can!!

In you dream chess variant, do you want to know the last opponent move or not?

Actually, I have plans to implement the last variant some time in the future (this is quite tricky, but should be possible to do). I want to add it as a variant to "Kriegspiel" ZRF file (see http://www.zillions-of-games.com/games/Kriegspiel.html). In a "classical" Kriegspiel you don't know any opponent moves. The natural variation of this would be when you don't know only N last opponent moves, e.g. when you don't know the last opponent move.

I have coded Andreas' game and it is out under the name "Delayed Chess".

Cheers, Karl
