Last night I played a game on Live Chess, in which my opponent ran out of time. We were left with an interesting position, and while he acknowledged the defeat my opponent asked if we could play out the game, post-mortem, as a learning exercise.
We tried. But unfortunately, further moves weren't possible. We could chat, and continue to make moves on our individual boards, but one player's moves weren't reflected on the other's.
It wasn't until we closed the game window that it occurred to me: we could have used the chat to text our subsequent moves to each other! Sure enough, it works like a charm. It's like switching from live chess to correspondence chess, but it fills the bill for post-game analysis and exploration. After the game is over, you can make moves for both sides.
It might not be difficult to add a "Post-Game mode" button eventually, wherein such moves can be made directly. But until then, just texting the moves to each other is a suitable workaround.
It also makes takebacks possible. In fact, you could launch an unrated Live Chess game, immediately resign it, and have a useful platform for instruction and analysis.
Anyone else unlocking these (no doubt intentionally) hidden features of Live Chess?
