Suggestion: Multiplayer Window

I had this idea while playing today in live chess.  It would be cool to play multiple games at once without sacrificing desktop space. 

Using the same screen size as the original board you could separate the board into fourths looking something like this:

Thus playing 4 games similtaniously

yeah this could be a good idea

I think it would be great to be able to play multiple games of the same opening.  That way you could try different variations at the same time.  It would be really great.  I don't know if this is possible from a programming position, but it would be cool.

you can already do this - just open up 4 games and organize them on your screen.

I think this is an excellent idea.

Yeah I knew you could play multiple different windows...but you can't (as far as I know) resize the windows.  This would all be in one window.

Erik do you see the difference?  All the games would be smaller to fit in the main window.

You can already reduce the board size to small - and quite easily fit 4 boards onto the screen (though not within the same window). There are four (small, default, large, extra large) fixed sizes of boards (in online chess settings) - so size is not infinitely variable.

Gotcha...didn't know that.  Thanks Artfizz
