If you use ymthe Follow option after clicking their name and the down arrow it will
You can also use the Console and /follow USERNAME (replacing with their username) and it will follow the games during the session.
I see that button and I'm already "following" my friend; it's not quite what I had in mind. Specifically, I want chess.com to automatically navigate me into my friend's next live game if I started by watching one of their live games.
Like:
1) I go to my friend's page and I click Watch.
2) They play their game and it completes.
3) They queue for another game.
4) When they find the game, my browser automatically navigates to that live game.
I like to watch my friend play in live chess. When I click `Watch` and his game ends, it doesn't automatically jump to the next game if/when he starts one in this play session, so I need to stop what I'm doing and remember to click his name and then click `Watch` on the little popup.
Is there some setting that makes this happen or does this feature simply not exist on chess.com?
To make my life easier, I built a Chrome extension that injects a small content script into the live chess page that does this for me (i.e., if I come into a live chess game by Watching a certain player, it will follow them into the next game if it happens in a certain time window). Is it a problem if I make it available freely in the Chrome extension store? It's pretty polite with how it handles the XHR requests and does roughly what I would do as a human.
