(Edit: I moved this thread out from the “winner marker” thread, because it has become rather more than that. EuG)
When we are at optimizing the game history, there is much redundant information in there.
One username is repeated in every row. Just one column for “opponent” would do.
If I won or lost is already mentioned in the last column. I understand that colour and text are difficult, so
Show a trophy in rows the profile owner won, don’t show any she hasn’t. One can use different trophies for ranked and unranked games.
Crop the result to X.5 or R
The rank difference can be color coded on any column. (The player column would probably be a better place anyways).
The color of the player can be shown by a colored circle on the far left of the history. Besides usernames it is harder to see at a glance who played which. (The information we are looking for is more often: “I played black” than “Black lost”.
I don’t think it’s intuitively obvious whether the trophy means the player won or the opponent won… I also regrettably have no ideas on how to solve this
If I assume correctly that trophy still means player won, maybe something like this could work?
I like this one, I think it has all the information. The only thing that might be confusing is that annulled games have also no trophy, and at first glance they seem like losses.
Maybe there could be a way to combine the trophy thingie and the result thingie?
I think the “proper” answer to this would be to be able to filter out annulled games completely.
I might even see if I can weave that in. Filtering/sorting of this table is a long-time wish list, but a full solution for that is a big deal. I might be able to do just “annulled game filter” though.
