Cutting edge UI
Anyone else like to move their seat a few inches to the side when playing OTB for the authentic chess.com experience?

if you play on mobile, its centered. the downside tho is:
1. too small.
2. only allows you to pre-move once then wait for your opponent to move.
3. misclicking is more common.
4. cant draw arrows (possible on pc by holding the right click button and then dragging it to the square you want the arrow to go).
5. harder to focus.
good side:
1. cetralized board.
2. u can see the board better.

The only way i have found to center the board is to zoom from 100% to 25%, although the hidden UI problem still exists.

No thanks, chess.com can actually just center the board.

You can do whatever you want, but I'm pretty sure they won't do it, since the main reason to the board not being centered if the ad in the right part of the screen.

I've coded a browser extension to centralize the board in chess.com, how to use:
If you are using Firefox, go to : Board Centralizer
If you are using Chrome (or similar) or want to install and inspect the code by yourself, go to: BoardCentralizerGithub
If you are using Chrome (or similar) but don't want to install the extension by yourself, in order to allow me to create a Chrome Web Store account and publish the extension, please consider donate $5 to my PayPal BoardCentralizerPayPal. The license of the extension is MIT, therefore anybody with the means to publish it is free to do it.
it works great, but the board is actually slightly to the right of center. better than standard for sure though. thank you!
@Rayless I'm happy it was usefully to you. If you don't mind, you can send me in chat more information about your screen and browser, this way I can try to update the code to work better.
@Baabashi You can download the code directly from the GitHub and add it manually: https://github.com/Adrian-Oliveira/BoardCentralizer/tree/production
You only need to extract the files and load it in chrome://extensions/ with the developer mode on (make sure to load the chrome folder).
Worked. Thank you!
