[To Fergus Duniho, with fondest regards:] Ah, so you're already aware of the problem, good, thank you for acknowledging the issue. Of course the new system is mostly very desirable, much easier and more accurate than typing out notation, but it would be nice if that old ability could also come back. Besides being able to play Time Travel Chess more easily, the take back ability is good to have in case someone makes an illegal move in an unprogrammed preset. Then we can allow them to take it back without typing 'pass' and messing up the move order. Thanks in advance for any time you have to look into this.
Let me try to explain that other thing I was talking about. Well I noticed that once you go back from a position to a previous position, you're never allowed to re-enter the position you went back from. So for example, let's say I'm at move 10. 0-0 and go back to move 6. B-d2. Let's suppose I want to go back and revisit the position at 10. 0-0 again for what ever reason (in Time Travel Chessgi it can be part of an actual move). It didn't allow that. Don't know whether it would be possible to program Game Courier accordingly.
