That is probably because at 1280 px you don't have a left side bar, eating away the available space, right?

Although I didn't have one the first time, I opened up the Chu Shogi page on my laptop again and added a left sidebar. It made no difference. My laptop screen is even smaller than yours, and even with a left sidebar, I'm not experiencing any problem like you're describing.

If you think this is just a matter of taste, and that your taste is as good as any other, and thus should prevail, it should at least set you thinking why newspapers are not using fonts for their head lines. Using different typeface in one document is bad parctice to begin with.

I'm pretty sure they are using fonts for their headlines. The alternative would be to handwrite their headlines, and that wouldn't look as consistent. My local paper has serif headlines, sans serif headings within articles, and serif body text for articles. It is common practice to use both a serif font and a sans serif font on the same page, using one for body and one for headings.
