The other day we had a transatlantic flight and at some point we decided to play some Miniature chess.

True about not using the Back button. Maybe we can remove it and bring it back only when we have a setup to analyze games.

True about Play button sometimes not very responsive. No pattern found. Could be bigger and/or perhaps have a bigger clickable area.

Until now I think there has been always a situation in every game when a click when to the wrong square, and thanks to the Play button confirmation the correction could be made. Also novice players use it as a help to think of the next move, which I find it fine if your opponent is fine with this. I'm for keeping it.

PS: ref Bug 8141 we didn't have problems with the logics of the pieces but (coincidentally?) we didn't move the King much.
