Chess Board Location

Sort:
Alation

Hello, I see there are 2 options for the chess board in this interface. To the right, and to the left. I notice that other websites have it in the center of your screen, and I much prefer that as it keeps me much more focused on the game. Is there any way to make my board in the center of my screen?

I know for some it may sound stupid, but I have a pretty wide screen. I just wish I could somehow make the board the only thing I see, and have it in the center. The interface just seems a bit weird to me.

Currently the best way to do that would probably be to use the "Simple Board" option at the top right of Live Chess. It's not perfectly in the center, but it's more central.

In V3, the board is automatically more centrally located.

with focus mode, board is still on the left side. im using a 32" screen. i need the board in center.

Did you make the board smaller? On that large of a monitor with a decreased board size, I can see that possibly happening. It's also possible that there is a bad cached script. Clearing your cache might help out. I have a much smaller monitor on my device (and I'm beta) and resizing keeps the board pretty centered.

board slightly gets closer to center when i zoom out. but there is design issues with the site. should be centered normally?

GarryFishers

the problem is still there with resizing of board full or not screen.

Wait, maybe i got what happened! is it possible that this is happening cause i had the Diamond upgrade, that now it is finished, and that location is due to the advertising (publicity ban) that appear sometime on the right side from the website?  Barcelona did u also have an upgrade? and now it push your board on the left?  

Martin if you can, help us, cause i can do the upgrade again but I don't wanna have this problem anymore, thanks on advantage :-)

I guess it is possible the ads are pushing it farther to the left than normal.

The element is likely still there, which may impact the layout.

I can't make that guarantee, it was just a thought.


You could always open a ticket and see if support might have some suggestions.
