And a quick add: a very small thing, but in game-play mode, could you display the move# somewhere? This would allow for much more precise comments, eg. "On move 34, red could've mated yellow", both among participants as well as among spectators.
[edit: fixed attribution of development of http://www.smartbridge6.nine.ch/.4pcp/ website to @_-__-__-___-]
I think 4pc would be greatly enriched with better facilities to explore/discuss/analyze games after the fact. Two requests along these lines:
1) At the end of each game, on the pop-up dialog that shows final places and ratings adjustments, add a scrollable text area (with selectable/copy-able text) which lists all moves of the game. Best case would be to format into a syntax of Fen4 or PGN4 (as utilized in _-__-__-___-'s website, http://www.smartbridge6.nine.ch/.4pcp/). However, if that's a hurdle in terms of development time, a dump of moves in any format (e.g. move listing as sequence of Cartesian coordinate pairs) would be fine. I suspect you could do a hexadecimal memory dump and we'd see a "Get HEX" dialog box appear in a matter of minutes on _-__-__-___-'s site. :-)
Assuming a server-side repository of previous games is retained:
2) Publish moves of all historic games. At a minimum, some interface which lists the games, participants, and a selectable/copy-able list of moves (as in #1). Even cooler: each game has a link to a "replay" rendition of that game.
