About

Minimal Chess helps you focus on what matters: playing better chess. This extension creates a calmer, more focused experience on Chess.com and Lichess.

Features: 
• Hide Bullet games
• Hide Blitz games
• Remove distracting UI elements

If you find yourself endlessly clicking into bullet or blitz games, or getting distracted by UI clutter, you are not alone. Minimal Chess was made to address this problem. It is designed to keep your online chess experience clean and intentional, encourage slower, deeper thinking, and reduce impulsive play.

Minimal Chess does not collect data, track activity, or communicate with external services.

Play better, not faster.
