No not joking.
I don't mean [b]instead of the present graph, just another option to switch between 'graph with' and 'graph without' timeouts included.[/b]

I simply think the idea would be a handy option.

You're proposing dual ratings, not just dual graphs.
Why would people lose any game by checkmate or resignation. They could just leave lost games to TO and reach the magical 3000 in no time.
Thumbs down.

What I am talking about is nothing to do with ratings. 😞
All I suggest is the option to 'remove from view' the timed out games.
It would save having to click through numerous games to discover why a sudden drop had occurred in the graph and whether they were ALL timeouts.

Would it not be simpler to just see the Game State (checkmate, draw, resignation, TO) when you mouse over a game on the graph, if that is the purpose of your suggestion?
