[eboard-devel] one more: quick moves for lightning

[Saber T. <fo...@el...>]

so say you have a piece highlighted already in a 1 0 game, and 
it's the other person's turn. then it's your turn again. the idea as an 
alternative/augmentation to using the mouse, you could use:

Q W E
A S D
Z X C

with S for selection (mouse-click) and the others for movement. I don't think 
this would be as controversial as pre-move (the computer doesn't intermediate 
in the human's game in this case. instead the human can signal the computer 
faster) and it may actually be better than pre-move.

also in the last email when I wrote "smaller opening book" I mean the OpenBot 
openings book seems to have historical cruft.

When I die, I want to be turned into a pinata. They could hang me from
a tree and blindfolded little kids could hit me with a stick, and the
first one to bust me open gets to keep whatever's inside. Maybe I'll
even eat a puppy or something first.                (Adrienne Zercher)
