About Chess Focus
Chess Focus allows you to hide various distracting elements while playing on Chess.com so you can just focus on the board.
Chess Focus is fully customizable, hide only what you want. You can hide the following.
– Profile Pictures
– Country Flags
– Flair Icons
– Ratings
– Player Names
– Player Titles
– Moves List Sidebar
The extension also centers the board when the moves list is hidden and allows you to resize the browser to as small as you want unlike Chess.com's Focus Mode that has the board off center and breaks when resizing.
Chess Focus is open source allowing anyone to make any changes they want such as language localization. Available at https://github.com/vanzsom/chess-focus
Also available for Firefox.
