Okay, I get that you are banning keyboard, but is this really necessary?

I guess there's always casual ultrabullet pool. is that allowed for KB?
To me, this is precisely like saying "cars provide unfair advantage over horse-driven vehicles and should be banned". Many computer games use a mouse+kb combo for fastest input. Why can't chess do the same? We've just found a nice, convenient way, and some old-school people want to destroy it. Why?

no, it isn't. You can't even use it in anon games, unfortunately
Hm. Wonder if we can run a parallel Lichess instance only for ultrabullet with a modified TOC. Let me look into the lila license to see if something like this is possible. We need at least some location to play all different kinds of chess. This site is mroe like Lichess than Chess now, if that makes sense.

> @clasherbabo Since Lichess is licensed under tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-(agpl-3.0) we should be able to do this! We could set up a lichess-kb.org, with the modifications listed and credit to lichess.org. Then we can allow KB to be played on this site. Can we get some traction for this project. Any takers?

I thought about this too. It's a nice idea. Unfortunately I'm by far not good enough at coding. Maybe BerserkAsIfUWereMad could make it happen!

I don't even use KB lol but I kinda like the idea of having different rulesets for ultra. Like for example win by capture king, KB allowed or not, touch allowed or not, mouse allowed or not. Meh. I guess it's all kinda the same.
