Quoridor practice/strategy board

I am wondering how hard it would be to create a mode where any quoridor board that has been finished could be shifted into a practice/strategy mode. In the new mode, any player could play both sides of the board, placing walls or moving the pawns. Could also back up one move. I would really love to see a feature like this. Heck, that would probably be just enough to get me onboard for a premium membership. Someone tell me this already exists! Or it is on the way. Thanks.

Unfortunately, game reviews on this site go forward only, and cannot be shared between multiple players at one time. When I have brought this up in the past, the admins have said that they are slowly trying to change how the site works to support this someday, but I am not sure when that will be, as years pass with no mention of progress in this area. So... don't hold your breath.
It is really too bad. When I was learning Hive playing on boardspace.net, the ability to review games you just played with someone while skipping around in the replay and trying alternate move sequences was a priceless educational tool. The lack of this feature basically makes this site unsuitable for serious play. Well, this along with the inability to choose colors and the lack of timing options. Oh well.
