Add info icon for "non-standard" game results, redirecting to FAQ entry #13459

After a user (even a fairly strong one, with a 1900 Blitz rating) was confused about the Threefold repetition in their game, this improvement idea tries to help with the confusion of users.

The icon could also be displayed in the game notation box after the game has finished, but it might be too cluttered.

A few more threads from users seemingly confused about their game result:

https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/why-a-draw-5 https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/new-bug--draw-for-threefold-repetition-out-of-nowhere https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/incorrect-draw-by-threefold-repetition https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/why-its-12-12-im-white https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/why-does-it-draw https://lichess.org/forum/game-analysis/why-was-this-a-draw-3 https://lichess.org/forum/game-analysis/why-isnt-this-a-checkmate https://lichess.org/forum/game-analysis/does-this-game-contain-a-threefold-repetition

Sorry if this has been suggested here before, but I've searched thoroughly and couldn't find anything. And it's clear that this won't completely "solve" the confusion of users, as some already know what for example a Threefold repetition is, but for some reason just don't see it in their game. However, this should still help with the confusion of other users.

I think it's not necessary.

This is interesting to me - could I attempt to tackle this @kraktus? I am a new contributor and am looking for a first issue that is somewhat simple.

If this is low value, then happy to consider other issues!

kraktus commented 4 months ago

Hey @apstone, thanks for the interest! I wouldn't consider this low-key, quite the opposite 😄 It's technically easy but as it's touching one of core page visually it must integrate well!

Feel free to tackle this one (or any other), we also have a list of good first issues https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22
