I've been thinking about building a fremantle go game for a while but it seems both games have the same requirements : online/offline gaming, chat, replay/analysis.

Go support, next to chess, is probably very interesting to think about.

But personally, I'd rather have a Miniature/MiniatureGo package with two apps that maybe share some core components. I'd feel restricted if I program a chess app and always have to think on a higher abstraction level whether this certain feature is go-compatible, as well. There is value in abstraction, and there's overdesign

See the chess-devel ML, Andy brought up the idea of a board game framework [1] as well. Perhaps we should discuss it over there?
