Description

This option is supported in several sites like lishogi.org and pychess.org, so it can save player’s time in tough moments and make drops area more visible. So dragging can be used also in this case.

If you agree, maybe it will be possible for players to choose the method of dropping (drag, click-click or both) in user’s settings.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing Crazyhouse drop logic in both backend and frontend. Implement a click click drop method as an alternative to drag and drop, and add a user setting to choose the drop method. Ensure compatibility with the current codebase.
