Intrusive messages from lichess

Can not remove or block lichess and their messages will always remain at the top of the inbox. Please leave me alone. Not being able to remove the blogs that are basically advertisement from the front page is one thing but this is too much. Please stop messaging me and focus on improving the site instead. We still can't control which way the horsey faces when playing. When playing otb u can choose which way the horsey faces but not on lichess. The horsey always faces left on lichess. It is disturbing when trying to focus on the game and gives left handed players an unfair advantage. Right clicking the horsey should change the way it faces. Not everyone are left handed. Please fix this.

This is wrong! With "Piece set" you have the choice between "horsey" or alternatively "kiwen-suwi".
You will surely play even better from now on.

By the way, I don't like your disrespectful bluster!

What happens when you eventually play over the board chess and your opponent faces the “horsey” to the left? Are you going to go get the arbiter and complain that your opponent must adhere to your bizarre fascination with right-faced “horsies”?
@Tenakel Respectfully disagree. Changing the piece set simply doesn't cut it, I want to change the way the horsies face without changing how the pieces look like. Is it too much to ask?

My suggestion would be to start a new thread and kindly ask the developers of lichess.org to make an extension for all piece sets so that the user can choose the viewing direction of the knights individually.

It's not too much to ask if you were civil about it in the first place

Typical right-handed entitlement.
