making the board large

Yes I would like to know as well.  I wish we could play without the graph beside the board during play.

[COMMENT DELETED]

I figured it out I think.   The board has its maximum size.  But because of the new interface and the graph staying beside the board, its the graph that slides to smaller and bigger but the board remains at its maximum.  So the game board ends up not taking up all my screen.

There is a problem with the boards  we are fixing this.

Until then If you try playing in live premium not live simple, make co-ordinates so they show inside the board not outside, and use the  F11 on your keypad, that should make the screen full size for you.

Thanks Kohai,  I decided to also change browser to Google Chrome, although hesitant to change from my EI9 and the board is now big.

Do you have any problems with the IE9 crashing ?

It hasent chaged for me since they changed...and i have tryed the settings button...it really sucks.

EI9 didnt crash.  However when I put Google Chrome as default and tried the F11, the Board is way bigger and just perfect.  Now my desktop and laptop have a great size board.

Ok upon trying IE9 again it works just fine.   Its the F11 that did it.  Just the right size.

Ok good :)

This is a big drawback. We need a larger board.
