Column for "Time Left" in "My Games"

I recently subscribed, joined a clan and entered a tourney. Suddenly, my game load jumped from 5 or 6 games to dozens.

I'd find it really helpful coping with these games if I could sort by "Time Remaing" on the main My Games screen. It's nice to know when the last move was made, but since games have various different time controls, it'd be much better to know how much time I have left to move. I'd rather not wait to see the spinning clock icon to realize I'm getting down to the wire.

Thanks,

Rob

PS And a rematch button in Blitz would work wonders as well. 🙂

If you use Firefox (you should), download the greasemonkey extension and click on the link in my location on the left of this post to download ouroboros' excellent RHP scripts, 1 of which tells you how long you have left before timebank starts being used (and then shows you how much timebank is left) for all of your games.

[EDIT] Here's the script in action... http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/9066/mygamesyt9.jpg

Looks awesome! Does it allow you to sort by time remaining as well?

No, but a quick glance shows you.

I'm a little short on chess playing time atm, so I generally only play in games which have a couple of days of TO left. A quick glance shows me which games I have to move in.

Sort using the "alert" column to bring this into effect.

No worries.

XCLNT suggestion .. .

Ahh...I found a glitch in the plan, at least for me. I access RHP from a managed desktop at work, so no Firefox for me.

So while the greasemonkey thing will work from home, I'd still vote for a way to do this directly via the interface.

Regardless of my work IE issues, those GM scripts rock at home. Thanks for the tip Ragnorak!

It seems like the RHP Greasemonkey script for the "My Games" section no longer works. At least that's true for me. Did recent site changes break the script or do I have a configuration problem that needs correcting?

The recent site changes broke it: http://www.timeforchess.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=73563&page=3#post_1397441

Damn.

Is there any chance there will be a fix for the mygames function?

Failing that, this is a feature RHP really need to implement!!

I'll pick this up in the dev forum.

I will add it to RHP.
