Re: Malkovich Chess Game - Phil Thomas - 03-03-2012
I don't know where the name comes from but possibly just possibly from the film
Being John Malkovich.
The film was released in 1999; does anyone know if the chess term Malkovich predates this??

Spoiler: Testing to see if this works

It does.

I'll have you know I am the second youngest Director at the moment, cheeky young whippersnapper...

I didn't know there were only two directors.

It's not bad, but still possible to see it, since it is not exactly the same colour as the forum background. Do Andy H. or Andy M know if it is possible to introduce a new spoiler feature, like in the example David gave?

I would imagine the functionality for hidden text could be added to the forum or failing that a font colour exactly matching the background could be added.

Sadly, after seeing Clement's reply, I removed my specs, and I could see that it doesn't work.
Wearing my, rather expensive, varifocals I could not read the 'spoiler', without them, I could. This does not make a lot of sense.
There has to be a match somewhere between the background colour and the colour used for letters. Just experiment.

This method works:
The slight issue is that the forum posts alternate between two slightly different colours. They are, however, close enough together for the below BBCode to work:
Code:

I'll think about a more "integrated" approach for future. But I think in the meantime this will allow you guys to get started.
