Replay the game with exact move times

As of now, there is a nice graph showing how much the user took for each move (although it's rounded to nearest .5). And there is a re-play button that when pressed automatically plays back all the moves at one second intervals.

What I'm suggesting is for move times to be recorded more exactly, so that when the game is replayed automatically, it is replayed in the same way it was played with the time intervals between moves.

This will give it the feel that you are watching a recording of the game, rather than just a series of moves being played in order. Often, it's fun to see how some players take some time for certain moves, and it's fun seeing which moves were made very quickly. Although this information is available from the graph, it would be far more intuitive if it was actually shown on the board during the replay.

Thank for considering adding this feature, and I would like to thank you for probably the best chess website I've ever seen! Keep the good work. :)
I really support this idea! Seems fun to watch your own games and games of others this way.
I totally agree that this would be good, I always wanted something similar when I played on FICS (only to find that it exists, on ficsgames.org select "realtime" game speed).
This is a great idea!!! Hope it could be introduce!!!
For the record, the exact move times aren't recorded. They are VERY rough estimates to save memory.
What a great idea, Mystical - it'd be like watching a proper replay of the game. One would be able to see the mistakes under time pressure etc.
I think this is a good idea too, maybe you can even chose speeds like 2x, 4x, 8x etc.
I know the decision. ANd it's easy. THere should be an option, that will ask, if you want record your game's moves time. ANd after a game, there will be possibility to save it on your computer, and after 1-5 minutes the moves times will be deleted from the lichess. ANd with saved information, you can watch your games in "live mode". It's not too complicated)
Or at least to show the time remaining on each move.

That would be nice too.
the times are already recorded, it's just a matter of visually presenting the data
