"Scotty here. Give me your co-ordinates and I'll beam a rook down ... with a phaser."
Feature Request: Fully Integrated Game Explorer

" thanks mate, but a phaser won't do I'll be in checkmate in one !now get me outta here !"
Can we use the "slingshot round the sun" effect to go back in time and change your moves? When is the takeback facility due?

A more colourful Opening Explorer tools is mentioned here http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/opening-explorer2
If the various chess.com tools (Game Explorer, Conditional Moves, Analysis Board) were more tightly integrated, we wouldn't have to keep making the same moves in each to keep them in step.
Tabs are all very well, but I find it inconvenient to have to keep opening the Moves tab, then the Messages tab. I'd prefer the separate window approach used for the Analysis Board and the Conditional Moves board. I'd like to be able to have a whole array of information panels available at the same time - as Rael proposed here ...
I imagined some kind of like, pilots chair or bridge of the Enterprise set up with the ideal chess arrangement of data and stuff. Console with endgame tablebase displays and opening explorer and analysis board. Like, every utility at your fingertips, the ultimate chess machine.
It'd be sweet to play chess like Kirk in the Command chair, Mr. Spock bent over his scanner, reporting to you about the next move in standard opening theory. Actually, I'd love to hear Leonard Nimoy say something like "transposes into the Nimsowich variation" or something. http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/a-tally-of-database-users--non-users?quote_id=1542680&page=6
A bit like this ...
"hey ! beam me up artfizz ! I am in a hot spot here !"
