Tournament chat: hard to finish a though before game starts

It's hard to post any messages to the tournament chat window when you get halfway through a sentence and your game start redirect happens, losing everything you have typed so far.

Some suggestions to possibly make this less of a problem:

1. Have it detect that you are typing in the chat, and let the game start redirect be delayed, maybe up to 10 seconds, as long as you are still typing.
2. Have what you typed previously before the last game be remembered when the game finishes so you can finish your thought.
3. Have what you were typing be finishable/sendable from the game screen.

I know none of these is easy or ideal, but I think it might improve the quality of the chat if people knew they could form complete sentences without fear of nothing getting sent.

Oops, meant "hard to finish a thought" in the subject. :P

#2 is ok.

I find it annoying, too, although it prevented me from posting too many swear words, hahah. :)

I think an improvement could be adding to OP's #1, but changing it slightly in that

When a user is typing in the chat, and a game starts, then a notification saying that the game has started (with a 20 second timer for 1st move) pops up and the user can finish their message and then click join game when ready.
