The name of the current game is displayed here. The name is composed of the game start date (yy=year, MM=month, dd=day, hh=hour, mm=minute), of the game name (name), and of the game status (status) using the format "yy-MM-dd-hh-mm-name-status". To the file name of a stored game, an additional status type letter (t) and the file type (ksol) is appended. The full file name format is: "yy-MM-dd-hh-mm-name-status,t.ksol".
