Watching current games?

Post by Bumblefluff »

Hi
I'd like to watch other people's games as they're happening but I can't work out how. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Sorry! I found it. The colour settings on my tablet made it hard to see

Could you please tell me how to watch current games? I've been trying to but can't figure out how.

At the top of a game's page, there's a window on the right that shows four different panels. One of those is for spectating games, you just have to click on the text.

There you'll have a list of turn based and real time games to choose from (I suppose the latter is what would be more interesting).

If you want to check the games of a particular user, click "currently playing x games" at the top of their profile.

Note that if you have a narrow screen—like a phone or a tablet—you may only see “recent updates” and info about your Elo; there’s a third panel offscreen to the right which is what tbhp is referring to. This third panel in turn has the four tabs he mentioned. (This is just below the game’s name and info about playtime etc, and above the actual buttons to start a game.)

Does someone know how to filter for real time games in this list of current games?

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)
