Dark Knight is an open-source Android chess application, Materially designed. It is based on Droidfish and the Stockfish engine, and also includes Bluetooth play. Dark Knight is like every standard chess game that have a board containing 64 squares of two separate colors, each player having 16 pieces which includes, a King, a Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, and 8 Pawns. I noticed while playing this great chess game that, it does not have an Online feature.

Proposal

I propose the addition of Online feature to Dark Knight.

Online feature allows a chess player the opportunity to play against different people from different continents around the world. A chess player overtime gets familiar with the chess computer/machine that he/she plays all the time. Online feature allows such a player the opportunity to play against people with different styles from that of his/her chess computer/machine. Playing against a human being is different from playing against a chess computer/machine. And to be a rounded chess player, you must have the ability to against fellow humans.

Mockups / Examples

Here is how the Dark Knight's menu currently looks like
