I have posted many suggestions and reported bugs in the hope of some improvements, but sadly it's just getting worse and therefore I'll be leaving after my current games are over.
. . . the blurry effect of the Analysis tab has given my eyes a lot of pain and I have had to endure a lot of headaches for many other sad features. . . .
As of the beginning of March 2018, I will not start any new games on this website, sorry to say, and that's mainly due to the poor game and graphic design of the site. Since last year, the new designers have started to think of chess as just another computer game and they are designing the boards, as it seems, with that in their bright minds. For one, I am not going to tolerate it any more . . .

Castle to " rook ",etc,etc....later Iranians,made the game to the battle of strategies..and invented the concept of .." King being captured "..." captured ",being in Persian langauge " MAAT " ( mate ) and king ( Shah )...hence..." Shah-Maat "..( in english : Check mate )...today....the russian call chess : " Shakh-mat ".
Iranians later..changed the game from 4 arnies,two only two armies...got rid of dices...and added " prime misnister.." Vazir "...( The English later called priminister " Queen",soldier to " pawn ",and the elephant to : Bishop ...the elements of their own governments instead of elements of government of Iran.
The Iranian King ( Nader shah ),and indian king,had political meatings,and in the spirit of good relations,they exchanged the game of " Shatranj "of india withthe Iranian game of " Backgamle "..( Nard ).
This is what i found from Wikipedia: the Sanskrit chaturanga (catuḥ: "four"; anga: "arm"). In Middle Persian the word appears as chatrang. Please copy this link and view for more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatranj
