Game layout not optimal

Hi,
I've noticed when playing games the page layout is different to the analysis page. The game page is always left justified with a wasted area on the right, where as the analysis is centred which allows you to change window size to remove any wasted areas.

What it means is that the game board size is often considerably smaller due to the wasted area compared to the analysis page. Can the site be improved to  have the game page behave like the analysis page? Playing with a bigger board is better for tired old eyes. I've included a couple of pictures showing the difference. Thanks

That wasted space is reserved for advertising.

How the board is sized on the Play pages will depend on your screen orientation and size. For example, the board fills up the screen top to bottom by default for me.

Ah, didn't realise, thanks. All hail ad-blockers!

Does that mean with membership the wasted advertisement space goes and board sizes are the same on both game and analysis pages?

I think so, I have a membership and there is no wasted space for me.

Thank you , I've been considering membership.

There's still the space for the ads on the right with premium, though I guess that may depend on your screen size and resolution.

Oh dear, sounds like my original point stands for members. May have to look at trial to see if it's the same on my monitor.
