Using the browser on my phone (I usually use the app), I can see that the end of the game is not obvious either.
We can add resignation and leaving the game to the missed events

additional: the community didn't like the move list being down instead of up
It seems like this update continues to be a disaster

On a (very) small screen there will be a trade off. Is the move list so important during the game ?

This issue started when the movelist was moved from above the board to below the board (if there is no room for it on the side.) Above the board is the ideal position; below the board it blocks all “during game messages”, from Lichess itself, or from your opponent. (draw offers, take-back offers, rematch offers, opponent has left the game, opponent has resigned and possibly others depending on individual settings) The obvious solution is to undo the change that caused the issues. This also avoids introducing new issues.
The movelist is very distracting when it is below the board when trying to focus on the game. The movelist is constantly chattering in the message area which gives the sense something has happened.

When it was above the board, as ajr24 put it you could scroll down a little before and hide it out of sight on your screen while still seeing both timers and when you need it (happens when you see it is your move and you missed what your opponent did) you just scroll up temporarily and see your opponents move.

When the movelist is below the board you cannot scroll to make it go away.

All the best.

The nice thing to do is to let the user decide for himself in settings so that undisplaying the move list actually hides it instead of just emptying it, but I guess this is another issue that will become unimportant if the movelist is moved back to where it was, above the board. This will solve everything.

All the best.

With your "solution" to move the move-list back top, users would still have to scroll down to view in-game alerts.
If that was what you did earlier, that's fine for you but not everyone is scrolling down by default every time they start a game.

Give me a list of people complaining about the move list being above the board for many years.

This was a totally uncalled for change.

Developer driven, not user driven.

Users naturally scroll down before the game starts to get a “clean” view without distractions.

Users scroll so they see the board and the two clocks just like people scroll so they can see the whole video on any video platform. if they can watch shorts / imgur / tictoc they can scroll to a chessboard.

If you worry which you shouldn’t. Add an anchor and point the link to it to take the users to the scroll position.

remember requirements:

1. users must be able to scroll or otherwise so the don’t have to see the movelist chattering while playing
2. user must see all the during game messages
3. the move list must be accessible during the game for example by scrolling

This is not my “solution”, it is the original design that someone tampered with.

All the best, hoping for the best

all Lichess players
