Apologies if this has come up before; I scanned through the last couple of months' posts and couldn't see anything appropriate-looking.

The think button supports neither castling, pawn promotion nor en passant. Could it be made to support these, please? OK, castling can be done by moving the king and then the rook and the en-passant capture of a white pawn on d4 by a black pawn on c4 can be simulated by moving the black pawn to c4 (capturing the white pawn) and then on to c3 but that's all a bit tedious and I can see no way of simulating promotion, except remembering which pawn is really a queen!

Yeah. I support this idea!

Did you notice that we can make illegal moves when using the think button?

It's on purpose, think mode is not about making legal moves but about letting you try things, pretty much as if you were using a real board.

I agree with Miguel's point of view. Thanks.

Miguel,

I like Think-Mode the way it is now. But regarding promotion, it would be nice if we could "drag-and-drop" queens (and other pieces) on the board, no matter if it is a legal move or not...

So we could transform paws in pieces whenever we want...

It also would be nice if we have a "trash" square where we could through away pieces (like en-passant captures).

Thanks,
Beco.
