[Notif] Notifications for Diversions (Chess) Feature

I have noticed that the Diversions (chess) feature is fairly new to CC, I feel that we should have the option to have a PM sent to our CC inbox since so far I haven't located any email in my personal email saying that it is my turn but I get my emails for my CC games or even have a number next to the Diversions tab (similar to if you have a PM in your inbox) to tell you that you have X number of games ready for you to take your turn (this one was suggested by NoSurvivors while we were playing a round of chess).

I have noticed if you go to your message board in the diversions tab that you get a copy of the moves that your opponent made each turn but so far that is it.

Positives:

- Adds a notification for each time it is your turn even if you don't see it in your personal email.
- Putting a number next to the Diversions tab doesn't impact the inbox.
- Encourage more players to play a round or 2 of chess while they wait for their turns to come up in their other games.
- Similar programing is already being used and would just need to be added in another location and modified. :D

Negatives:

- Fills up your inbox up quicker due to the 50 message limit (if the PM is used)
- Some players don't like PMs sent to their inbox so they might not like it (if the PM is used)

I don't think there is any easy way of doing this since it is a 3rd party host. However, I'll send this the way of BW to put it out there for future reference.

Also, edited your title for clarity, just in case we get more suggestions involving this feature later on :)
