Online Chess - next game please.

Sort:
falgocharm

I'm trying to get my games out of the way in online chess.

but every time i colick 'Next Game'

it takes me to the game which my oponent has most recently played.

ie i'm seeing the games with the most time to run first.

chess.com please make a setting in 'Online Chess Settings'

where I can opt to see the games with least time to run when "i've just clicked" 'Next Game'.

Yea it's annoying.

The Current Games view is behaving 'correctly'. It is separated into 3 groups - and each of these groups is sorted separately by least time remaining. The groups are:

  1. games in which it is your move ('My Move')
  2. games in which it is your opponent's move ('Waiting')
  3. games in which somebody is on vacation ('Vacation')

(Incidentally, xqsme floated the idea of playing online opponents before offline ones - {see waiting-games} - though without changing the display order.)

When I click next it doesn't take me to game with least time remaining.

ditto .  (When I click next it doesn't take me to game with least time remaining.)

'correct' picard & 'make it so'.

artfizz

Next Game cycles through the list of games where it's your move - a list has already been sorted by least time remaining.

Is this not the expected and sensible behaviour?

To achieves the effect you are looking for: click on the first game in the list, and then select the option to Stay on this game.

@ artfizz I dunno it may work for you all I'm sayin is that even when I click on my first game on the list it often takes me to some other games (where I have lots of time remaining).

It shouldn't do that!

Just to be clear: you open your second-from-last game. Then you click on Next Game. It should take you to the last game in your list.

You can test this out without making a move on any game.

One event that might disrupt it is if a new game becomes ready. Let's say you're on the 2nd game in the list. A new games arrives and occupies the 3rd slot. When you click Next Game, does it take you to the new 3rd game or the original 3rd game (which is now 4th)?

Thx for ur comment artfizz I tested it - it works as u said reason I was confused was because when some of my opponents are currently online it takes me to their game no matter how muchtime I have left. But I understand it now. Thx 1 more time.
