That's rather interesting. Dragongoserver and other turn-based servers work
that way; they have long time controls, such as 30 or 90 days.
This would also permit blending in test problems which could expose weak lines
of play.
The presentation of the game situation would have to include not only the board
but the history, in order to handle superko properly.
