Feature Request: "Tags" - an unusual feature that would hit the spot for me.

that would be extremely cool, but it seems kinda hard. 
actually, being a programmer myself, its a lot easier than you think.. just have a table in the DB for notes. The only question is if you want to use javascript for the notes or require the click to do a board refresh.
I think this is a great idea, and fits in perfectly with the AJAXy feel of the site
That... would perhaps be the most helpful addition to simple turn-based games. I like :)
then it would be awesome!
you know.. I'm not a professional chess player, or a grandmaster. I just get on & play chess.. My biggest issue (probably from being male) is remembering what is going on in a game that the other player hasn't moved his piece in over 2 days.
Now the "Notes" field alleviates some of this but doesn't quite go far enough. what I'd *really* like to see is an asterisk or something hovering over a piece on the board that I can click on..
You should be able to *tag* any piece or square on the board, so when I come back to a game I can read the note I left for myself.
A sample note can say: @ Move [23], I'm worried about this piece, I bet he's gonna go for my bishop.
something like that. Now if I tagged a piece that has moved, the note would stay with the piece. If I tagged a square, then it would stay with the square. You could be given an option to tag a square or a piece.
If the piece is gone, you could just go back in your history and then click on it when it was still alive.
It might also be good to have a menu entry to review all of your notes at any point. The list could say: 1. White Rook 1 : note, 2. E4: note, etc, etc.
