Title: Game replays
Post by unic on Apr 29^th, 2006, 9:33am

I wish that when looking at a game replay, one could see more of the information that is actually available during the game.

Specifically, I would really like to see the times - time spent on a move, time in reserve, total time left - when looking at the replay of a game. (Compare game records of Shogi which usually includes time spent on a move - this helps when analyzing a game, as one can see when a player was short on time, or on what move a player spent a lot of time.)

This information is available in the "events" field of the database, so if anyone ever codes an alternative game viewer, they should be able to parse the events and display the time information.

Yes, the information to allow this is recorded with each game. The game viewer just needs to make use of it.
