It would be Real Nice, 'Brian'; If, when a player puts themselves on the waiting-list for a 'live' game; If there were an audio sound, to accompany being transferred, to whomever accepts, a given player's, open challenge!
 
I would think, that just about everyone, finds it, both boring and cumlatively, 'hard' on-the-eyes; To more or less, continually, having to stare @ the screen, while waiting for an opponent, {lest an accepted challenge, be missed!}; Which Could take, up to, lets say.. 5 minutes, or more! --
