What is the purpose of Zen mode?
To have only things that you see when play in real life? To not have additional functions that you see only on servers?
But in real life game you see face of your opponent. While in Zen mode there is no avatar or even nickname.
In real life game you hear what your opponent says to you. You don’t insert earplugs in your ears. While in Zen mode there is no chat.
To have no distractions? To think about Go game more deeply than possible in real life game?
But knowledge that opponent may write something in chat and I don’t see it distracts me!
There have to be option to add chat to Zen mode!
