Feature to review played games (step through the log move by move and update visual board) #24

Hey Juho,

Are you open to reviewing a pull request implementing a new feature?

I'd really like the ability to step through the logs of past games (including, especially, those of the the top tournament players) and have the board update move by move.

I think there's a chrome extension that does that (tmtools), though I haven't tried it myself.

I'd be open to looking at a feature like that. The reason it doesn't exist is that the way I've wanted to do it requires a bit more work than just the UI changes. (Basically send enough information in a single response for the client to easily reconstruct the state at any point in the game, rather than have the client fetch the full game state for each move).
