Commentator suggestion

Regarding item #6, one feature that would be good for those at a table with "commentator" status would be for those people to be able to save any position in a form that is easily imported into any bot. I'm suggesting this for commentators and not necessarily all kibitzers. You don;t want to make it easier for anyone to take any position run it and then message their friends playing.

A commentator would be able to promote any other kibitzer with special privileges (like easy access to position data). The reason for this, is to make the "Did anyone run that position". Many people are not adept to fast transcription of a position.

Also implement VCR type functionality like GG to allow one to go back to previous moves. As well in VCR mode commentators should be able to dump any position for easy import into any bot.

For easier import, it would be nice if Bot developers came up with a simple mechanism to send a position from the gaming site (by a commentator) that would allow that position to appear and be analysed in a bot without much human intervention at all. This saves on the hassle of saving the position, and then loading it manually. It just appears in the bot when selected on the gaming site, and voila - no fuss analysis.

Of course you don't want these "easy to analyse" options available to the players (unless they are granted such privileges, or both players mutually agree upon a setting when the match is started).
