This is where an option to have floating game and annotation windows
wins. I don't know if Windows supports forcing a window to the top,
without any real effort and I never have the entire top window
decoration of the board covered, so I can always raise that. It
actually works very well for me when I don't feel like shrinking the
board and re-arranging things so that all 3 are up at once. It may not
be the favourite thing with 800x600, but it's not impossible and
there's just no way to get all the information onto such a screen
comfortably.
