Move Analysis Navigating Buttons to Top

Could you guys please move the forward/back etc navigation buttons on the analysis screen to right below the game board? Please.

On a phone every time we want to click next move we have to scroll way down, click it then scroll way up to see the board again. It's a pain in the ass. Yes I'm aware the app has its own analysis screen, but while I quite like playing on the app, the analysis tool is way way better on the website.

I love analysing games when I'm done, but the way it is now I have to really want to look at a game badly to put up with scrolling up, then down, then up etc over and over 50 times or however many needed for the game in question.

Please and thank you.

No thoughts on this anyone? Anyone else think this would be very useful?

@Sajiky I agree! I feel the same way. It is a real pain having to scroll up and down on a smart phone. chess.com staffers unfortunately don't seem to look at all the posts or pick up on these suggestions. There is a suggestion link at the bottom on the home page. On the home page in the left hand pane at the bottom is the help link. Tap it. A number of options come up....one of them is "make a suggestion". You can communicate your idea there. Alternatively you can write to membersupport@chess.com and include a screenshot with maybe markings/arrows drawn on your screenshot showing where you think things should go. I have suggested things in the past and chess.com have actually listened and instituted some of my ideas happy.png e.g. the check boxes in the learning section of puzzles themes etc. 

I will also send a suggestion so there is more than 1 making the suggestion happy.png

Another idea is that the forwards/backwards arrows become floating elements when one scrolls up to the board. That already happens in a normal game.

Cool thanks, good idea.

Hi. I sent a mail to membersupport@chess.com and also connected with Dallin who is vp of product design in another forum section "fixing analysis". The change is in effect. The bar floats so now you don't have to scroll up and down anymore on mobile happy.png. So it's sorted!
