I have added a new feature to Game Courier. It was designed with tablets in mind, but it may also be used with a monitor. There is now a play mode, designed for using your tablet or monitor as a game board while playing against someone at your physical location. It is similar to solitaire mode, which could be used for the same purpose, except that it removes the header and other text above the board, including echo text, so that the board remains in a fixed position without any need to scroll the screen to see all of it, and it keeps the board in a fixed orientation. Before using it, you should customize the board to fit your screen. Because it uses the server, it requires an internet connection. You might use it to play chess variants with a friend in various locations, such as study hall, home, church, a library, a cafe, the back seat of a car, etc.
