Happens to me too. I have to change the board in order to play.
Squares are gone in Safari/Big Sur 11.1

On Chrome, I still see the white squares, but on Safari, I have two black bishops and no grid... I believe this started after updating to Big Sur 11.1, yet it could be unrelated.
Close all tabs/windows to the site and clear you browser cache. Then try again. If that doesn't work, change your board. If that works, try changing back to the original board and see if it works.
