I recently tested to play a few games on [https://chessfish.io/](https://chessfish.io/) where you can turn on colormapped evaluation on each piece. For analysis purposes and playing against unrated games against a bot its great to get a quick overview of which pieces is best to move. I do like the touch feature (with hint limits) on Chessup 2, but could a similar feature as chessfish also be implemented? This could also be used as a kind of Hand & brain play (if the touch-hints are turned off) where the board suggests which piece is best to move, but I have to figure out where to move it!

Thanks for the suggestion.

We have a hint button in a future update - which will indicate which piece has the best move (and also the move, so not exactly this feature, but close).

Would be nice if you could control whether the suggested move should show or not after the piece hint!
