So I have a suggestion (or 2) for "handicap" features!

So, The Stockfish engine can tell when you've made an innaccuracy, a mistake, or a blunder.

A great handicap tool would be on the side, like where the time gift area is, where you could add a number of stockfish "blunder warnings" for the player.

Player 1 would move, but if it is a blunder, Player 2 doesn't see that it has been made; rather, Player 1 is given a warning, saying something like, "Stockfish analysis thinks that this move is a terrible idea. Would you like to keep it, or choose another move?"

I suppose you could also add further layers of handicap possibility, like innacuracy warnings and mistake warnings, varying the level of stockfish offering the handicap, varying the number of blunder (or other) warnings allowed.

While we're at it, "Time handicap" should be a feature. Different time allowances per player.

For any of this, both players would of course have to approve all of it before playing with any of it.

I would also like to suggest that this could be a paid feature for lichess deluxe or something like that. You really need to have a paid version. You're the only game site i feel bad for not being able to support monetarily, even through ads.
