The board is too small in version 2, even when zoomed to 100%. In version 1, the board size was just about perfect when set to 100%. Is there a way make the board larger, or is it something we have to accept from now on!?
Feature request:
I often jump onto lichess and play a quick anonymous game when I have a free moment.
So, on the anonymous board, please remove the letters/numbers from inside the board (it's messy and the board should be pristine!), and please remove as well the dots which show potential/available moves. This should be the default setup. Then, if a player should want these features, perhaps add a setting to allow them to add them in. But most chess users who comes to lichess don't need to know how a piece can move. Why pander to abject beginners who are the vast minority?
Thank you for your tireless efforts and an amazing website!

@patzer81 Make the board larger under Board Geometry after clicking on your name at the top right of the screen when a board is visible. Or drag from the bottom right of a board.
@svillar Thanks for your feedback! I checked and indeed Safari 11 and 12 got it right. Good job! Here's a codepen showing what I was mentioning: codepen.io/anon/pen/XwWYmJ
So the problem is only with Firefox, Edge, and Safari 10.
My main issue with it is that I can't figure out how to detect it. Any idea with that?
While you're here, if you don't mind me asking... we're having nasty SVG rendering issues in chrome. Would you have any time to discuss this in our dev discord by any chance? discord.gg/pw6Efvk

How can I access players game history now ? I used to be able to access my old games to analyze, or pull up a friend's game (or send him a message from his player page ) by putting my cursor on "Community" up at the top, then clicking on "players" from the pull-down menu, then finally typing in his user name in the empty field that would appear near the top of the browser. I could also find last week's games of mine to analyze
But now when I click on "Community", the huge list of Top-rated players as well the tournament leaderboard covers most of the browser ( and any place where I might be able to type in a username ). I can't even find all those horrible games I played last week but need to finally look at.
How do we access old games ??

@Ahmadinejad How to see your history: lichess.org/@/Ahmadinejad/all, click on your username, profile, games tab?
Kosciuk, that works. Thank-you.
But shouldn't we still be able to input the name of a member who is not currently logged on or has a game visible anywhere ? For instance my friend "Egyanon". I was only able to find his page just now by taking my own page link which you posted, lichess.org/@Ahmadinejad/all, and overwriting my username with his.
If that's the only way to do it now, that will certainly suffice. But if you can no longer use the simple
button up at the top, then something might have been inadvertently obscured by the programmers without their realizing it, when the new format was launched.
Thanks.....Good Night

When I start a game, it now looks so ugly! See: imgur.com/a/HUkVklI
Is there something I can do on this? I am using Chrome 73.0.3683.103

@Doofenshmirtz the problem is that even after I zoom in the board to 100%, it is still smaller than it used to be. It's just too small. Also, I don't think that chat box should occupy so much space on the screen because that makes the board smaller. This was not an issue with the previous version of Lichess.
