Summary

A clean, minimal chess game interface designed as a playful waiting screen while an AI agent runs in the background, with flat piece icons and a simple board layout.

Visual description

A minimalist chess interface with an 8x8 board rendered in alternating light and medium gray squares, displaying all pieces as solid silhouettes in black and gray. Black pieces occupy the top two rows, gray pieces the bottom, with a single blue highlight marking an active square in the middle. Below the board sit three control buttons: a bar chart icon, a refresh/undo icon, and a counter showing '0'. The entire layout sits on a light background with no decorative elements, emphasizing pure functionality.

Key takeaway

Strip chess down to essential elements - board, pieces as flat icons, and minimal controls - to create a playful yet focused interface. The single blue highlight provides just enough interaction feedback without visual noise.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a ui screen reference. Pairs with minimal, clean directions. Original by Anton.
