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

After pressing the Online option, there should be a log in or sign up option

After logging in, there should be some category base on time that you can choose to play

Benefits of the addition of Online feature to Dark Knight
- It's fun playing against different chess players around the world which would increase the usage of Dark Knight.
- It would improve Dark Knight players style of chess, because playing different people would help them re-shape their own chess style.
- Chess has to do with psychology, playing different personalities would improve Dark Knight players ability to understand human psychology in relation to chess.
