Canvas workspace

Zoom out and the line becomes a landscape.

A move list is linear. Your thinking is not. Canvas keeps the main game, side lines, and open questions together on one navigable surface.

Keep the context

The board is only the beginning.

Score, available comments, opening, candidate moves, and the larger game tree stay close without breaking your train of thought.
