SchemingMind Tuning

SchemingMind is a very nice correspondence chess site. I strongly recommend it to any serious chess players (after trying about 20 sites of this kind I found this one to be the best, at least for me).

The following Firefox extension adds some improvements to the default SchemingMind interface.
