I no longer have any games in progress, and I won't be playing on RHP anymore unless and until the administration can fix my tiny board size created by the recent changes. The icon at the top right of the board in the My Games list is no help whatsoever, and neither is the other icon in the Board Theme list.
I'm sorry to lose the many opponents who have played me over the years, and I'm sorry to be leaving after 18 enjoyable years of playing here.
However, I'll check back from time to time to see if this problem has been fixed by the administration. It is just not enjoyable to be forced to play on a board this small.
@AttilaTheHorn saidAttila - I thought before you leave: Many correspondence players (me included) use the image on the computer screen simply to keep track of the current position but do the calculation and try different lines of play with a physical board and pieces. I'm sure you own a chess set. This might work for you too.

I only use the board on the screen and don't use a chess set. I do everything in my mind from that board, just like you have to do in person in any game or tournament. I don't even use the analysis board.

I see you have been here for 18 years and are still not a subscriber - if you go away you won't be missed.
You need to assist in helping resolve the issue by sending a feedback with exact details about your system, and preferably a screen shot. There is a near infinite number of permutations of devices/software used to access the web site, and I'll do what I can to accommodate everyone. Where possible.
Although probably not the case here, but I do want to state again - if you are using a system which has been abandoned by the manufacture sometime ago (older Apple hardware being the worst offender, but older Microsoft Windows too), I can't reasonably support them indefinitely and move the site forward.
@Russ saidI'm not sure Atilla knows how to send a screenshot.

I don't.
Attila:-Another possibility is you have your screen set on " micro".
I don't know what you are using but on my chromebook on the right of my screen there are 3 horizontal arrows.
I have it on "compact" and it's fine
@venda
I have mine on compact too. You're right; I have no idea what a screenshot is or how to send one.
@Venda
If you're running windows , simply press the windows button and Prtscn button next to scroll lock on your keyboard to make a screenshot .. it will then be saved in your screenshot folder....
@RooksandHooks
I did that and nothing happened. There is no screenshot folder. This has become far too complicated. It used to be simple, but not anymore. All these changes have made playing chess a real nuisance.
@AttilaTheHorn Bonjour de France.J'ai une solution à vous proposer 😉)
1_Appuyez sur la touche " Ctrl " (contrôle) en bas à gauche de votre clavier Windows.
2_ Rester bien appliqué.
3_ puis (en même temps) tournez lentement votre molette, en avant ou en arrière.
4_ Et vous aurez un agrandissement ou un retrait de votre écran !!! pour le regler à votre convenance et pouvoir refléchir et jouer confort !!!
@AttilaTheHorn
What device are you using to access the RHP site?
Are you using an app on a tablet or phone?
If you are using a computer, what operating system and version are you using?
For example, I'm on an older HP laptop, running windows 7, and using the Firefox browser. Everything I'm using is somewhat outdated, but still working fine for me.
If you can provide some of this type of information, someone might be able to help you solve your problem.
@AttilaTheHorn
The post made by Manahau (above) may offer a solution for you.
1. Open the game page for one of your games.
2. Hold down the ctrl key on your keyboard, and while doing that rotate your mouse wheel. That should change the view size on your monitor, making the board larger or smaller, along with everything else.
3. If you are not using a mouse, just hold down the ctrl key, and at the same time click the + or - key to change the screen zoom view.
4. Or go to the top of your page and click the browser setting for 'view', and change your zoom setting there.
All of these options work for me on windows 7, so may also work with windows 10. Let us know if any of those help. 🙂
