When playing a game of chess or other kind of game the window of the game board 
is too large so the option of chating  ( there is a chating consol at the bottom
of the window ) is made almost impossible and certainly very inconvenient.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter games.yahoo.com
2. pick one of the games that you want to play at
3. see the size of the board and notice that it is very uncomfortable to
impossible to chat during the game.

Actual Results:  
the problem occured

Expected Results:  
the size of the board should be smaller so all its content is in the screen.

there is another related problem  - the board is coming up very slowly in
comparison with IE.
it will be reported as another bug

I have no idea why this is a TE bug. WORKSFORME as far as I'm concerned; if other browsers make the window significantly different in size, then there might be a TE bug there. I don't see any evidence of that to this point, however.
