Expanding the Clickable Area for Piece Placement [Mobile App]

Chess.com is undoubtedly a popular platform among chess enthusiasts, offering a plethora of useful tools and resources for players of all levels. While the platform has undoubtedly provided a positive experience, it's important to continually strive for improvements. In this discussion, I would like to suggest an enhancement that could further elevate the user experience.

Enhancement Proposal: In the current version of the Chess.com app, one minor inconvenience stands out: when a player selects a chess piece to move, the possible moves are indicated by a point at the center of the destination square. While this approach works, I believe there is room for improvement.

Suggestion: Extend the Clickable Area: Instead of indicating the possible moves with a point at the center of the destination square, I suggest extending the clickable area to cover the entire selected square. This means that when a player taps on a piece and then taps on a destination square, the entire square should register the move, rather than just its center.

Benefits:

Preventing Accidental Errors: This adjustment would significantly reduce the chances of accidental errors during piece placement. Currently, users might occasionally misplace pieces due to the limited clickable area, leading to frustration and disrupted games. Expanding the clickable area would alleviate this issue.
Smoother Interaction: With a larger clickable area, the interaction between the user and the app would become smoother and more intuitive. Players would feel more in control of their moves, enhancing their overall gaming experience.
User-Friendly Design: To avoid any potential confusion during the development phase, it would be wise to incorporate a slight padding around each square. This padding would ensure that users have no difficulty accurately placing pieces in their desired squares, even on smaller screens or when using touch-based devices.

Implementing this suggested change would be a step forward in enhancing the Chess.com app's user experience. It's a small adjustment that can make a big difference, ensuring that players can enjoy the game without the frustration of accidental errors.

I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the Chess.com team in creating an exceptional platform for chess enthusiasts, and I believe this enhancement would further solidify Chess.com as the go-to platform for chess players of all levels.

Nothing to do with API. Try support.

Panebože! Nechceš, aby to za teba samé hralo?

Pretty sure any part of the square already can be clicked. That is just showing legal moves and has nothing to do with actual movement anyway.

Also, as @Tricky_Dicky said, this is not a club for site or app suggestions, unless it deals with the Public API.
