DarwinKoala: It is true that we can play Dark Chess using BrainKing, but that is not what I want nor what I am talking about. I have tried to use BrainKing to play Dark Chess live. It is tedious, though it works. Besides having to log into the site and having to use an internet connection to do so, and hopefully the site is up and running when you want to try it, there's plenty of other things that just having the program on my own computer would solve. It'd be lots more user friendly in many ways. And it would not tie up BrainKing resources just for the one game either. Extra monitors will work, but even one extra monitor should be big enough to show all three views of a game in progress. And I can envision a type of overlaying the display with all three views superimposed on each other too.

Since I did miss the obvious thing about this that rabbitoid points out and that is such a program does indeed exist. The very program that BrainKing uses. Perhaps Fencer could let me have a copy of it or a modified version that I could use on my own computer to play Dark Chess at home? I had not thought of this. I will write him and ask in a few days so as to give him some time to respond to it here in the discussion board. It would have to come ready to use as I do not know how to program computers or change program code to do it myself.

Walter Montego: Can you play using two different browsers signed in to two different accounts on one computer to play live? Players would have to manually manage minimizing their window when they finished their turn, but it'd be better than nothing and not too tedious.

Thad: Using just one monitor can be done, but it would be a major hassle just making sure you didn't accidentally show your opponent your view of the game. You might even be able to use the same browser, but I'm thinking probably not with cookies and passwords and all.

I used two separate computers logged into two accounts on It's Your Turn (IYT) about seven years ago to try it. Unfortunately my opponent didn't like Dark Chess and I had no one else to try it with. This game is on IYT as Walter_Montego versus Walter Montego. I had accidentally created the account when I didn't notice the underline was missing and somehow ended up with two accounts. It is the only game I ever used the second account for.

If you don't think it would be a hassle getting up from the monitor after you make your move, making sure to blank the screen, and then have your opponent take over for his turn, and them keep switching back and forth the whole game, I am not sure what you would think is tedious. It'd be a lot easier to use two monitors hooked to one computer. Your idea will work. Give it a try and see how well it goes.
