Lobby: games with open tables only filter

Please, add a simple filter to games listed in "my favourites" on the lobby page:
1. Show only games with tables that I can currently join
2. Optional: show only real time / turn based
3. Optional: normal only / practise games only
It would allow for a quick check if there's open tables in any of my favourited games, without checking them one by one. Also, notifications "There are open tables in one/more of your favourited games" would be helpful.

Best add then suggestion..
That is the biggest problem in bag. Selection of games. I want to create my own categories and maybe only see my favorite 10 at that moment. Now the full list is annoying me too.

There are so many games I would like to play, that are not the most popular games. When I click "Play Now" with automatic opponents, I end up waiting 10-20 minutes, and then give up. I hardly ever find someone to play with.
I would be very nice be able to see at a glance if other members have selected a game, and are waiting for players as well, then I could see which games are actually availale to play, and select my favourite from among them.
I would suggest a new icon on the games in the "Play Now" tab, that is only shown when someone has requested a game (this icon could go on the left margin, under the "learn this game" and "favorite" icons). Perhaps a flashing "clock" icon, like a smaller version of the clock you see when you hit the "Play Now" button yourself.

If you go into manual take mode, there's a "show all open tables" button underneath all the favourites.
It will do what it says and show you all tables you can join for all favourite games.
There's another one that will do all games on site as well if you'd like to take a chance with those.

Like it was mentioned use manual mode.
If you do want to play some of the less popular games you could try to see if there is a group set up for the game and ask there for players. Or maybe try turn based as it might be more popular than live!
