Crazy chess idea

There are often so many positions one witnesses in various games on this site that the following crazy idea just occurred to me --

it would be an awesome feature if, on seeing some fascinating position, one could click a snapshot button, whereby said game would be posted to some common gallery -- and then various other players could later pick up that game at that exact position on prior agreement and play it out.

Obviously, there would have to be a time lag for such a feature (lest the original players consult the groupthink) but I think it would be a neat way to study interesting positions...

This may be too much work to implement and/or not generate enough interest.

Just a wild thought.

That's an interesting idea indeed.

PS The "time lag" feature is historically called "tape delay", or now more commonly "broadcast delay".
