Some thoughts in regards to listing relayed games; a simple approach might
be to have a window that lists all games. The relayed games can be listed
on top if the games are sorted by the ELO rating. Also, there can be color
codes for relayed games, rated games, and unrated guest games. Obviously,
the window would need to refresh itself often the way the sought graph does.
If games were listed in a table, one column which would also be very useful
is to show the number of observers. This makes it very easy for someone
unfamiliar with chess players to see what games have a few hundred viewers
and others that have one or two. I think this is similar to BabasChess.
