The opponent pieces are still there, just hidden using CSS opacity. This would be really easy to abuse and there's no way to know if your opponent is cheating. Please fix!

It is cleary true. When I have a "spectator", I loose most of the time (my rating is 1980). Each move is slow (10..15 seconds) even the most obvious of it. The anticipation was unreal after analysis. Very frustrating !
