Hello.

Got an iPad Pro and the chess dot com app does not fill the screen with the board.  Seems that there is no setting to change either.  Looking for fix.  Competing chess app displays board on full screen.

thanks.

There's a device setting, something like use more space that needs to be off for it to show correctly.

By device setting you mean an iOS setting in the iPad, not any chess dot com setting? Because I’ve looked all over the web setting and setting in the app.

iOS setting. It may be the Display Zoom. If it's on More Space you'll see that problem and should be Default

Ok, thing is, my old iPad Pro shows the board full size with display zoom standard. Even changing it to zoom, which affects everything, does not make it as ideal as the old iPad Pro. So this is a thing that chess dot cam app devs need to address. If you have a channel to get info to devs I’d be appreciative. I have a photo of both devices side by side each with the chess board displayed.

I guess the devs don’t have the new iPad

Developers are already aware.

Well maybe go poach a few Lichess developers and get it fixed.

I'm having the same problem on M4 Ipads. Live chess displays WAY too small.

Ok, well the issue will probably take months to even warrant a review, so I’ll just cancel my renewal this month. Good luck chess dot com.

Doesn't seem to be a high priority fix for them

I bought a new iPad Pro two days ago and have the same problem. It's very annoying.

Open a ticket

I'm having the exact same problem with my new iPad Pro M4. The chessboard is about half the size of the screen rather than nearly fullscreen. Like the other person I do not have this problem with my older iPad Pro.

Same problem here! No full screen games on new iPad Pro M4. They’ve released at least 2 updates since the new iPad came up and Chess.com were not able to fix this important issue. Migrating to Lichess if this continues any longer.

It has been way more than 2 updates. But yes, that is the best thing you can do: vote with your wallets and participation. If they won’t cater to you, you shouldn’t cater to them. Go lichess!

This is insanely annoying. I bought a new 12.9” iPad Pro, and the chess.com app is useless for playing games because the board shrinks to the upper right corner…regardless of how the iPad’s “Display Zoom” setting is set. Please fix this!
