Hello, When playing online or against a bot, I wonder if it would be possible to implement a recapture without actually moving the opponent’s piece. For instance, my opponent capture my knight with his bishop, I plan to recapture immediately with my pawn. Now the board forces me to move the bishop first. With the implementation, I could simply remove the bishop and the knight of the board and place my pawn where my knight was standing. It could speed up things. PS: received my Chessup2 this morning, enjoying it very much so far ! Best regards, Jeremy ---

Good suggestion and I can confirm this is on the list for sure. ---
