Maybe it'd be worth going the extra mile to also solve the
'dual undo' problem (I move, you move, I realise my move was
wrong, I ask you undo, you undo, I accept, I undo, you
accept, I re-do my move... that's a lot of work for SMTP
servers ;) ): How about a "backto" command to go back to any
specific move in the game:

chess x backto 10w

On board x, go back to move 10, white to move.
