That is basicaly what I sugested. Have the ability to say if the oponent does this I will do this. Or if he does anything but this I will do this. I also think that ability should be extended to multiple turns. So if my oponent keeps moving were I think he will the computer will automatically do the moves I pre told it I would do. Yes would not be very usefull in dark chess. Though I would love to see an AI version of dark chess.
