I would get use out of a feature that would send you an email with a game link whenever an opponent moves in a particular game.  There could be a check box near each game board (or something) to indicate that you want notifications for this particular game.

This feature would be very useful for several reasons and you would like to know as soon as possible when you opponent makes a move:

1) When you have a game that is running low on time
2) If you a playing a particularly interesting game.
3) If others in a tournament are waiting for the game to complete.

Thoughts?

jryden: I certainly like this option. I can think of three particular uses but I am sure there are more.

1. For Fischer clock games. At the beginning of the time control, I often do not notice if moves are made in these games and I end up not moving until there are less than 12 or so hours with a bonus of 3 hours.

2. Games with pawns or other people who might want to finish their games quickly for whatever reason. It is often difficult to remember all the games we have with pawns, but I know many players like to move as soon as possible in these games since pawns have game restrictions.

3. for tournaments. either to finish a tournament that is near completion (or game for that matter) or personally, I like to move earlier in prize tournament games since I have more interest in these games.

Ahh, nice idea. That sort of would tie in from my request 6 or 7 months ago. I would like the ability to flag certain games. Then, have an option added to the "Move and go to...." menu, which would be "Move and go to next flagged game". I personally would like to flag especially interesting games, Fisher clock games and games against pawns. (Well, I guess it wouldn't be necessary for me to flag Fisher clock games since there is already a "Move and go to next Fischer Clock game")

Fencer didn't say no to it back then, but he didn't exactly say yes either! LOL.. so I figure since it could tie in with this request, I would repeat it.

rod03801: In hexkid's greasemonkey script we had a button in each game which was 'Set as priority'.
Then any interesting games, Pawn game, games people are waiting for to finish etc... would automatically show at the top of your list OR goto next priority game.

MadMonkey: That's okay...but the crux of my request is that I want to know when my opponent has moved without having already thought to go to the site to check it out.

jryden: Well the notification mechanisms already exist (mail and RSS feed). All it takes is the hability to activate them only for certain games...

pauloaguia: You could just set it up such that you get notifications for all your games, and have your mail or RSS client filter out all games you aren't interested in. ;-)

AbigailII: I thought about that but there isn't really enough information in the RSS feed to make the decisions. Besides, how many rules would I have to write to do this? Email and tagged games still make the most sense me.

Fencer, any thoughts?
