These are features scheduled for future 2.x releases.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			   General Features

- Make ( create variations in a display, and keys to move into and out
  of them.  At the moment, variations are supported programmatically,
  but not in the UI.

- Make a display read-only mode, which allows people to view/browse
  but not alter a game.  This could be used for remoting displays in
  order that people on other X servers might observe a game.

- Implement the "50 moves after irreversible" draw rule in chess-ply

- Port the code to XEmacs

- Find a way to display pieces on Windows platforms, or at least
  document how to build XPM support into Emacs for Windows

- Add a way to include the chess-ucb module in the list of default
  modules created via M-x chess.  Right now there is no facility for
  having two engines associated with a single game (and chess-link
  is not what we want in this case).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			      ICS Client

- Add a completion function against logged in users

- Copy some of ics.el's nicer functionality into chess-ics.el

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			    Chess by Mail

- Add support for adjournments; also, implement this is such a way
  that an e-mail or postal game is basically a game that's adjourned
  after every move; use BBDB if available

- Use MIME attachments (application/x-chess-pgn) for sending e-mail
  chess games back and forth.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			 Database Interaction

- Enable UI commands in chess-display to interact with databases.  As
  of 2.0, this support is programmatic only.

- Follow what `edit-env' does, in order to make chess-query.el.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			  Training/Tutorials

- Write a scripted chess-tutorial.

- Allow the opponent to give hints.

- Add a warning mode that will use the results of an analysis to warn
  the user (and ask for confirmation) before doing something that
  might lead to an inferior position.

- Add a chess tutor program, to teach people how to play chess

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			  Analysis features

- Add an engine function for obtaining an evaluation of the current
  position.  Then, allow M-x chess to startup a non-game oriented
  engine, solely for the purpose of submitting position evaluations,
  and displaying the result in the modeline.  (Also, look at crafty's
  kibitzing feature).

- Add a Map command, that will colorize the squares depending on
  whether they are reachable by either side.  Green if reachable by
  you, Red if by your opponent, and blue if by both.  With a prefix
  argument, colorize only the squares that have pieces on them.  This
  is a stable modes that remains in effect until turned off.  It also
  requires the ability to pass a color to the chessboard highlighting
  routine.

- Using gnuplot-mode, allow evaluation trends to be plotted

- Add an analyze command that will indicate which pieces are defended,
  how well, which are attacked, which moves would increase
  defense/attack/both, etc.  Basically, everything that can be known
  about the current board, and one move ahead (on both sides).

Need a way to play bughouse/crazyhouse games.
