AbigailII: I think one of the goals of an online game site is to make the games as much like real life game play... when possible.

I think it would be better if people could not figure out what pieces they could move by just hoovering their mouse.

But that would probable be a pain to program - and a good "medium" is just to keep that how it is now. (in my opinion.

About automatically moving a piece when it has only one available move - I think this is OK since you are already clicking on the piece to move it, and like Chess - you have to move the piece to block a check (for example), so no matter what piece you click, if it can only go to one place to save the king - then that is a good time saver in my opinion.

Sure, someone can go through and click every piece and learn where it might go and what might work best - not anything like what would happen in real life game - but (again, my opinion) - a good middle ground is how it works now.
