A feature I was surprised not to see in the "Cleaner page UI during chess games" section: Lichess has a zen mode that maximally simplifies the UI.
It removes the chat, navigation menu, move history notation.
You're left with the board, clocks, resign/draw/takeback actions, and move replay.
You can activate it by pressing "Z" during a game, and there's a menu option too.
- giords 5y agoYou can even hide player ratings site-wide, to fully focus only on chess.
- Freeboots 5y agoOh my god you can turn it on during a game? Here I am turning it back on via the menu after saying GG each game! What a chum!
- elliekelly 5y agoSame here! I can’t believe there’s a hot key for this! They really do think of everything.
- whoisjohnkid 5y agoYes zen mode is amazing. You’d be surprised at how much better you do when you just focus on the game vs paying attention to your opponents rating.
- wtf_is_up 5y agoLove turning on zen mode and just solving puzzles endlessly.
- tomcooks 5y agoAnyone not playing Zen mode is doing themselves a huge disfavour. It allows you not to care about your opponents score, nor identity, nor messages.
