Autozoom. #21

Currently the game offers moving (dragging) the board, and zooming with mouse wheel. I have noticed that actually I always try to achieve the most-zoomed view of full board. So I always want to see entire board, I never zoom to see less than all. And then I keep the maximum zoom, which still allows me to see all. And of course I move/drag it to see it within the screen boundaries.

But all that could be done automatically. The game could just center the board on the screen, and zoom it to such extent as to show all of it (including the gray placeholders for possible moves). It would save me so much manual mouse-work. Also the zoom levels the game provides currently are quite big steps. I think there are only 3 steps, with quite large difference between them. So it's not super-easy to keep perfect zoom.

Of course this is my personal preference, maybe some people do zoom to see only small part of the board? So maybe this could be a checkbox somewhere, so the manual zoom is also possible.
