Just do not tell him to show the board before starting the game
Showing / hiding the chessboard at will during the game and setting up positions seems not to be possible with HAL, however.
Hello chess friends!
I'm currently learning to play blindfold chess and need a chess program to train with! What I am looking for is:
I'd like to be able to show/hide the chessboard at will, too!
I've tried crafty w/command line, but that doesn't allow me to set up a specific position (using a graphical board; it's a pain to type in complex positions).
Thanks in advance for your answers!
