New feature suggestion: More readable time control

[jurnieks]

Dear development,
I'd like to suggest to make a time control in the header more readable.
Now we can see a small "300+3" somewhere in the corner.
The "Blitz, 5m+3s" with bigger font would be quite more usable, I guess. The time control is a very important game characteristics, so the easy filtering options could be very useful as well. Probably the "bitz, rapid" search keywords are the good option.

Thank you in advance.

Bigger font will make it larger than player names. What do you mean by filtering options? The time control is stored in standard PGN field, so it is not easily found by 'blitz' or 'rapid' keyword.

I think this suggestion is quite good to apply to the game, anyone have the same opinion as me

I assume we are talking about the played game, not about the database games?

As for filtering, I agree that it would be nice to classify each game as blitz, rapid or standard. This won't be trivial though, as blitz tournament rarely have "blitz" keyword in them (for example, "Titled Tuesday"). For quick filtering this has to be stored somewhere in the database and/or search index, which will require some format changes.
