Since that feature isn’t available on an actual board, it would really hamper your development as a player to use it when playing online.

Maybe it would actually help to develop internal vision and improve your chess.

I could see that varying from individual to individual.

For me, I'm quite confident it would negatively impact my skills as I would naturally start trying to offload that mental load to the computer and forget how to do it.
