The new site format for live chess (22Dec24) covers the board with headlines naming my opponent and me for two to three seconds, before I can make an opening move. The clock is running all the while.
-- PLEASE, if you need to add more Bling, hold the clock until the clutter is gone and the board is fully in view.
-- You clever Java writers can do this. Add a 3-2-1-Go countdown if you must, but please make the entire board visible before the clock begins. Thanks.
