Online position evaluator

It would be a really useful thing for the BG community to have a site where one could go on their phone and input a position and get a Gnu analysis. I think this doesn't exist anywhere currently (?). This is especially useful since XG mobile is less available now and it isn't nearly as good as Gnu 2-ply anyways.
If you make it available to members only, you'd get people to pay for membership just to use it. I know I would pay $30/year for it even if I didn't use this site otherwise. You already have most of the infrastructure needed for it anyways, so you are in a great position to do something like this and profit from it!

If you have paid for XG Mobile, you can input positions into that.

Alex Zamanian (z), I like this idea and it ties in with full bot play which I would like to implement sometime.

I mean, I heard some people run remote desktop on their phone to connect to their home computer and set up a position on XG running there to get a good evaluation. Which is such an absurd thing, but it's necessary if someone is away from home and wants an authoritative evaluation...

Alex Zamanian (z) I like your proposal, but I think it can be done for GNU Grandmaster or even 4-ply instead of GNU 2-ply, because these positions will not be stored in a database I think ? So maybe have GNU 2-ply free for everyone and GNU 4-ply for members only ?
