[Lichess TV] Please allow option to disable auto-switching games

Hey guys,

First of all, thanks for all the great work on the website. I cannot thank you enough for the amazing time I've had here.

One thing that I would like to see improved is the Lichess TV experience. Currently, what happens is that the game being shown is automatically replaced by a new one if a higher rated player starts playing. There is no apparent way to go back to game that was being shown before.

For me, this is not preferable at all as I become invested in a game while watching and then suddenly the rug is pulled from under me :)

I can think of various ways to improve this:
1. An option in the preferences to disable this behavior and only switch games on completion of the current one.
2. A checkbox while watching a game by which I can disable auto-switching for the current game being shown.

Please forgive me if this feature already exists and I'm too boneheaded to use it :)

Thanks for reading!
some easy tasks like this are being ignored by now to focus on big things, then i am sure they will implement this and spme otehrs features too, like some forums features like pgn embeding hehehe
Yes please. I came here to ask for the same thing.

It would also be nice after the game is over to stay on with the same two players if there is a rematch.

Thank you!
