Profile performance check of a player

Feature request: Quickly seeing an opponents medium centipawn performance.

Example: Three month performance:
2 % Inaccuracies
3 % Mistakes
1 % Blunders

If the player does not have a minimum of one analyzed game per week, the system would automatically pick an average length game to get a stat on the players active performance. This information would become immediately available to the opponent when they scan over their name. At the moment, we see ratings when we scan over the name, but it does not show their performance level or their : Better than 26.1% of Blitz players.

At least that better than info is already existent in the profile, but we must dig into the profile to find it. If we are in a Blitz tournament this Blitz information should be shown. Scrolling the mouse over a players name presently only shows their ratings.

By knowing our own better than, we can compare the odds of winning against another player quickly.

How about having the difference already calculated and displayed when we hover over their names. It would say for example ... The probable odds of winning is 50% for this player. That's what I call an ideal pairing odd for a lobby match. In a tournament match, it might cause players to resign early, if they see their probable odds of winning to be too extreme.

When the percentage is at 50% it would basically be saying to the players that they are equally matched and to expect a tough game.
