Ah yes, that would be possible - lol :-)

In dark battleboats both players get 3 shots per turn regardless of how many boats left.

Nope, like I thought. For "Back" to work, the entire position would have to be stored in the URL, which it is not. Clicking "Back" does absolutely nothing to the board set-up :-)

Yes, it is jmd. You have to be a member to add your picture on here. If you ever become a member, you can send a 40x50 .jpg to info@brainking.com, and Fencer'll add it for you :-)

lol - maybe it'll help others who have a similar question anyways :-)

You can just click on the ship on the board, and it'll remove it :-)

You can save positions either in the Game Editors found on the left (or top) links or after creating your set-up for a game. As far as I know, you can save as many as you want and can call them whatever you like. Instead of creating a new set-up for the next game, you can load your previously saved position and either leave it as is or make changes to it (and re-save it, if you like).

I would suggest leaving it like this. If a game times out, or ends for some uncontrolable circumstance, your ships' location will be revealed for your opponent, making it impossible to continue the game and forcing you to restart the game from the beginning. If it is a tournament game, that would slow down the whole tournament and render pawns like yourself who are in that tournament unable to join another until that game is complete.

Although the same problem could arise in Dark Chess, i like seeing where my opponent's pieces were, and be able to play through the game in that :-)
