Losing the chat is great. On KZfaq it’s only a visual distraction. If someone says something interesting Levy reads it aloud anyway. Having the move list on screen helps me a LOT in following things. If you cold lose or move the sub counter from in front of the move list that’d be even better. Great stuff man.
