About Distract Less Chess
If you’ve ever lost a game because you were guessing someone’s country from their flag, overanalyzing their username, or feeling intimidated by their rank, this extension is for you.
Key Features:
Hide your opponent's flag, username, avatar, ranking, and chatbox.
Easily show or hide these elements again through the extension's popup or by using the hotkey: Alt/Option + H.
