Get rid of the yellow borders

Sort:
NimzoRoy

Get rid of the yellow borders around the squares that the last piece was on and moved to. If I needed them to tell me what the last move was I'd quit playing chess and go back to playing Russian Roulette with a semi-automatic.

Or at least make them go away when the player clicks on them with their mouse.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you the Swaziland Chamber of Commerce.

Is this a recent change? I remember a setting where this could be turned off.

Yes you can turn it off if you want to.  But I am ok with new changed.

Yes, please get rid of it. As i am no longer a premium member, i cant change my settings without changing board back to a default look. Ergo, i can not remove the obnoxious yellow from my soothing blue look. Remove this crap, or i just might go back to russian roulette as well. I literally have a headache from seeing just a few games worth of this. And this had better not be something that we had "better just get used to" because of the reasons i stated above, its unfair to those who want it gone but cant because of board restrictions.

Yes that is there, but you dont understand the plight of many of us, we can't change that off without changing our boards back. it's an inconvenience to us that none of us asked for, yet received anyway.

Uh-oh, I only see it in Team Vote Games. It is turned off in my own game settings.    AlphaRed Thanks for the info!

Yes it is very annoying, why change it? it leaves 'retina scars', and is putting me off.

For those who do not get the reference :

1-The bullet chamber of semi-automatic weapons rotates automatically to find a loaded chamber, which make russian roulette a forced loss for the first player ;

2-The man who discovered this won a Darwin award a few years ago.

Am I delusional, or did they also make a change where, when I'm playing over a game or using the analysis board, the pieces no longer "slide" from square to square, but just instantly jump to the new square?  This makes it harder for my brain to follow what's going on.  Change it back please!
