When viewing⌠a game on a phone, it would be nice to be able to use landscape mode. However, the board ends up hopelessly small. Here's a comparison between the default landscape and portrait views in Google Chrome on a Pixel 3 XL:
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/466760/118929861-e7c8dc00-b8f9-11eb-992b-d6bcfe835deb.png" height="200"> <img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/466760/118929924-f8795200-b8f9-11eb-80da-d49affaceae2.png" width="200">
The board is almost a quarter the size in landscape as in portrait. It looks like the layout was made this way intentionally, but I can't imagine anyone actually using it like this, except maybe for very small board sizes. That's too bad, since landscape is a nice view for casual spectating. For example, it might be nice to "cast" the view to a typical 1080p display, if the board weren't too small to see.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
In landscape mode, vertical space is limited. So the board should take up as much as possible, similar to how it fills up the width in portrait mode. One easy step would be allowing the page to scroll as it does in portrait mode. As you can see in the second screenshot, when scrolling in Chrome or Firefox, the top/bottom bars auto-hide, allowing the page to use more of the vertical space. However, the current landscape mode locks the position of the page.
I think just making the board a little bigger might solve the issue. Specifically, adding `height: 100vh;` to `.MainGobanView` in the wide mode, when the screen is small enough to be considered "mobile". Here's what that looks like after scrolling down a bit (simulated in desktop Chrome, so it's missing the notification bar):

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Using `position: fixed;` on the goban might also help achieve the desired layout without wasting space to the top/bottom bars, but then you'd also want to fix the menus, which might mess up the rest of the site.
Perhaps some synergy to be had here ^

Not only mobile. Height of normal horizontal screen is still usually smaller than real Go board that you will see in any Go club.

are you kidding?
and there is new bug:
(Chrome)
post update

Thick arrow buttons stealing space from the board are suspicious to begin with but they add another scroll bar on the right scrolling for 1mm up down.
Additionally, new time control formatting is poetic-like but ultimately it looks better to have two lines, I think.
