Watch tab improvement

Sort:

Is it possible to have a watch tab for a certain player, that always shows their current, or most recently played game? 

Currently when I want to watch someone I have to go to their profile, click on watch and then can watch them for exactly one game, because the url is https://www.chess.com/game/live/fixedGameNumber instead of something like https://www.chess.com/player/live/playerName which could redirect to the current game.

And it's also annoying that the player I'm watching is not always on the bottom - is there a way to fix that?

Hi there @muehre!

Currently there is no way of having a watch tab, however you can Follow a player live and whenever they begin their next game it'll auto load you as an observant.

Just click their username at /Play, then More > Follow.

Hey @Wind,

I followed a player, clicked into their live game but then was stuck there when they started the next one - is there a step I'm missing?

Ohhh I have to click follow when watching the live game. Thank you for the hint!
