I think it would be great if there was a button you could click during a live game that would allow you to move pieces around and analyse lines and variations on the board itself without having to open a new window or looking at a new board on the side.
and then you could click it again to return to live mode and play your move.
Sometimes if i'm playing a very high level game I have my other laptop on the table next to the one i'm playing on and I have this window open :
http://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editor
(i also like the fact that it has an "enforce legal moves" option unlike the board editor on lichess )
and that way i can kind of avoid blunders and analyse a little deeper than how i normally play.
Some of you might complain and say things like "You should learn to visualise" or "they dont have that option in OTB games"
or "it's cheating" or "it will make you worse than learning to visualise"
^ which IMHO arent really valid opinions. I have played much higher quality games like this. and It's actually helped me improve.
and really how is it any different if someone was playing online and just had a physical chess board next to them to analyse their moves?
Anyways, I would like your opinions on this.
Thanks
