watching games

Is it possible to watch live games, as opposed to playing in them? I watched live games on ICC all the time, as well as playing in their tournaments, but I haven't found a way to watch games here. Thanks for all help. 

Yes. Either click on someones username, when the option box appears, click where it says 'Observe'

Or

Look for your Games tab above the chatroom. Click on that, then on the subtab 'games'. That shows you a long list of all games in progress.

You can sort the view of which to watch by clicking the row that says 'Rating - Black - Time.

If you can't see the Games tab, you can use the settings link (top right of the page in live premium, and under the chat area in live basic)  then click on tabs. Then check the box you to show on your tabs in here,
like Friends - Games & Players - Chatrooms. Its your choice which ones to check, which ones you want to see on your tabs.

 (remember to save changes on the box below it and they will always show when you log in.

I have a similar question: is it possible to watch tournament's games? I mean, if I'm not participating in it.

"We've still got a lot of good Live tournament stuff on the way - including the addition of pages to show your your past tournaments, leaderboards, etc.; an easy way to observe tournaments without joining; other formats (maybe), and so on."

Thanks Mostar!

Hei kohai,

When i click in a friend, and when the option box appears, i cant see where it says 'Observe'. Can you help me please?

Thanks

Is there a way to move down to a lower rating for the games tab without clicking the arrow 20 times? I would like to watch game in the 1300-1500 rating but it starts out at the highest level and the only way I know to get there is to click the right arrow 20+ times? Maybe a setting for this?

I still can't find how to observe a friend's game. Can someone please help me figure this out? It doesn't look like anyone has figured it out.

inlive chess, go to the friends tab, and press watch if they are playing

Is there a way to save the pgn of a watched game?

would it be possible to watch games of players filtered by country and/or rating.

Or by the number of threads they've created on the forums?

Is it possible to display four watched games at once on your computer screen?

Answering my own question, you click on Detach to the right of the top of the board, resize by dragging the bottom right corner, and move using the top.

You cant watch friends play computers can you? Dont see the prob with it

Is there a way to see who observed your game after you finished the match?

No.
