Turn based game order

Post by Jonhinch »

When I am playing in turn based mode it seems to play the next game based on who is online. Is there a way to change the next game shown to the longest outstanding? If i am short of time it is a nuisance if an opponent plays too quickly and appears every 3 or 4 games. There are some players I would like to keep playing but they play back too quickly

Would be great to know how the order is exactly determined. And if this could be improved with the community.

In my experience at first the order is the game where you have less thinking time left and then moves up to the Games with the most thinking time left. So Training Mode games are usually last. After ~1 hour it presents you the games which you skipped again.

Then if there is a new move in a game where you already played this gets presented next, which makes some sense for table progression.

In your case where you are short of time you could "skip" (Click on "Go to next table") on the tables with players playing fast. Then this table gets put to the back till either ~1 hour is over or you've played/skipped on all other tables.

Sometimes there is a bug (?) where skipping only switches between 2 games till you've played in at least one of them.

Another solution when short of time I sometimes use: Go to the game in progress page and open the games I wish to play now each in a new tab. Then I go from table to table with the next tab Funktion of my Webbrowser.
