Summary

The move list and the captured pieces, in a sheet over the board.

Why it is drawn this way

Standard algebraic notation, two columns. White's move and Black's reply on one numbered row. It is how every chess player reads a game.

The strip under the board shows the last two moves; this is the whole game. The strip is a glance, the sheet is a look.

Captured pieces are shown with the material balance in words. The strips show the pieces. Only here is the sum done.

It is a sheet, not a screen. The board stays visible above it. The app has a CapturedPieces component and keeps a move history, and shows neither as a list.

Review is not drawn. Stepping back through the position move by move is a separate feature, and it is not on the board yet.
