Maximize Board on Chess.com

Hi,

When using chess.com on a computer, is there a way to make the board as big as the screen?  I can't seem to make it very big with the chat window, etc. in the way!

Thanks!

You can use Focus mode to hide the chat and so forth, and use the icon at the lower right of the board to expand the board.

Ha, funny you should be answering me! happy.png

Where is focus mode located? Yeah, I usually play on my ipad and do not have this issue.....I do not like the chat screen either.

Enter "focus" in the help search menu: "

To enable focus mode, click on the focus mode icon on the top right of the board under the settings gear icon. The focus mode icon only appears when you move your mouse into the area.

When you click on focus mode, the board will expand, and everything but the board and clocks and the draw and resign buttons will be removed:

To exit focus mode, simply click on the "x" icon in the upper left!"

Actually, the icon does not show up for me....weird! Here is a screenshot of the area when I move my mouse over the settings icon:

Nevermind....figured it out....said on some browsers you have to set the screen zoom size to 90%....that worked.
