In order to filter games for live games it would be helpful that useres who are online could be marked with a green light or something like that in order to identitfy games for fast or live play.

Live games or fast games
It's already done, you can check players status before joining (game settings icon)
Btw, speed depends only on the players, but fast games is (usually) only with settings:
- timer running for a few hours, better not nonstop 24 h/ day (if you play with peoples from other time zones)
- 1 hour per player + 5 min per move -> it should be live game.
- 1 hour + 15 min (working for example between 8:00 and 16:00 o'clock -> it can be 'live' or also fast turn-based game, even for 2 or 3 days.
If you want fast games, joining to play with timer 6 hours, or 1-3 days doesn't make sense at all.
