There are a few things with Chess we should reconsider:
When you start a new game, chess opens up the previous game you closed.
Even if you quit in frustration vs the computer after you were certain
to lose. If I wanted the old game I closed I would load it myself.
Instead, the game should open with a new game using sensible settings -
a reasonable default would be the settings of the previous game played
(though, perhaps, computer vs computer games shouldn't start
automatically.)
Worse still, there is no obvious way to close the loaded game; you must
click Game->end game. Starting a new game will unexpectedly shrink the
board and open a tab - with no close box for the old one.
We should seriously consider eliminating the tab functionality from
chess altogether. Chess isn't like Firefox; a user who wants two
separate games can very easily open the program twice, and unlike web
browsing almost no one will want to rapidly hop between them.
