International tournaments

Please can we add/fix these features soon in international events

1) Fix the clock-The time is often wrong and it is a real pain.
2) Add stockfish so that we can analyse the game while they are playing and see who is winning.

You can add anything that you think I left out
Discussion welcome
also should put the Qualifying Tournament
There's been an ongoing discussion on various threads about the real-time analysis. For many players, myself included, the main draw in watching games live is to try and work out what's going on, anticipate the next move and possibly discuss it with others in the chat. Stockfish ruins that, even though I am well aware people can - and sometimes do - get an analysis through different means.
As for the rest, it is important to point out that lichess only relays what's happening on FICS (not sure whether or not that is the cause of the problem with clock-times).
I understand some people don't want to see stockfish's analysis so maybe there could be a button in preferences saying turn stockfish analysis on during tournaments/Turn it off during tournaments Its just some people may want to see who is winning and after they guess what the best move in the position is they can check it with stockfish this will also help players improve their chess
The issue isn't just that someone doesn't want to see stockfish's analysis while watching, it's that it's annoying when people in chat do have access to it. It spoils the conversation and discussion of the position and ruins any effort at evaluating the position by giving the "answer."
Yeah, so you're having a nice discussion of the game... is it safe to take that piece, what are the weaknesses in the position, what possible plan to implement... and then somebody storms into the chat and with all pride and glory declares white is losing after this and that and, of course, inserts the engine evaluation.
Sometimes it's funny when somebody(especially weak chess players) shout "White is winning, white is winning, it's +1.3!!!!111", when actually it's a practical draw where white has an initiative, but cannot convert it to a win.
So please refrain from any computer analysis during the game. It's fine by me and I quite like it, when the game ends and finally we can see the computer evaluation and even discuss some variations, which were not played. But only after the game is over.
