If I were a beautiful Japanese go-girl, I would :)
In addition to having the two different time alarm settings, there could
also be an option like: "Count down the last n seconds" - if selected
the last n seconds would always beep. Also it would be nice if the beep
sound could be user defined - I find the current one to be a bit irritating.

It sure it - I had never heared of it before, and google thought I was
interested in touring in North Korea (how did they know it?) when I
searched for it.

I think anything is better :) Though, overtime could be confusing too as
byo-yomi is also kind of an overtime, is it not? Hopefully someone with
good imagination comes up with a good word for this. "Bonus time", "Deep
Thought Time (DTT, not to be confused with DDT)",... I sure hope someone
will come up with anything better :)

That is true. I was wondering about that when I started a game and had
no clue if I have any DTT or not :)

Buy a bigger screen :)
I do think that the player list should be redesigned anyhow - it is kind
of messy now. Also the filter implementation is of limited usefullness -
even though I've defined a couple of filters, I actually never use them
as I am not that interested in only seeing the players who do not know
how to resign or whatever :)
Also, maybe there should be an option to see only the most relevant
fields - after all, the Obs- and Country- and even Idle-fields are of
limited usefulness. Also some of the informaton in the fields should be
color coded as otherwise it can be messy. I find the Match
Settings-field to be especially messy.

Also would be nice to see if the person belongs to any "filter".
Btw, what is Prebyoyomi, which always seems to be 0 - 0?
