Show scheduled game number

[eduherminio]

Given that Schedule takes you to this ordered lists of games to be played, it would be good to be able to see in the viewer a reference of which game is being played.

Use case for this is knowing when your engine plays (i.e. games # 30, 44, 58, etc.) and with a quick glance at the viewer being able to estimate how long until their next one.

An option to do that without thinking too much about the UI is by adding the game number at the beginning of the [Server] message, so at least you can check the # of the previous game.

This is a suggestion that requires functional changes in the underlying server that powers this tool (Toms Live Chess Server). As that will most likely never happen, these suggestions are only possible view a few "hacks".

• Could scrape the given link for the schedule and try to parse that
• Would want to catch the server messages announcing game results and prepend the number

Fair, it's non trivial then 😄 I haven't had the chance to have a look at the code just yet, but some reason I assumed it would be less coupled to Toms Live Chess Server. Feel free to close the issue in that case if this is something which you consider it's not worth tracking.
