I change algorithm for next game (game after send move). Next game will be the same kind of game (the same variant if possible) as previous game. Except games with time less than 24 hours !

Thank you Richard, I understand why you made this change, but I still like to play games according to time left. If it is possible, can we have the choice between the two techniques?

ditto to Nagy Fathy.....I always prefer to play my games in time order.  Richard, please give us the option...

As for me, I liked the way is was, to have the complete list after the "send move". Can we have an option for that too?

 I often want to play only the games, where I know a quick answer, as a break during my work.

+1 I wanted to try it for a while, but I do prefer the old way (at least for now). Especially with a lot of games going on, it's better for me to have the next game by time. It would be great if we could have the choice between the two options. Thanks!

I like the new way better, but an option would be definitely the best.

I must admit that the more time passes, the less I like this new functionality. Of course it enables to play the same type of games in a row... but when I have late games (like 2-3 days late) it is really bad to still stay on current games, I have to manually check the time left at each game (which is especially not practical on the mobile version) to switch to other games, otherwise, I'll clearly get behind. :( It could be really good to have a switch to go back to the old version. After all, if we play several types of games, we should be able to switch from one to another without a problem.

But please don't do it like at brainking, where the choice is saved and can only be changed when submitting a move. Frequently I forget to switch back to my standard (next game of same type) and then no game is left where it's my turn, so I have to wait, and later when I can play again I will likely forget it again.

"... in same tournament"

"... game with same opponent"

"submit and go to game of  same type"

"submit and go to game with shortest time"

Why not implement two (or even more) submit buttons:

Funny effect:

I wrote the previous message in the editbox, then cut it out (ctrl-x) and played some games, then came back here and pasted the message (ctrl-v), and the text blocks were in reversed order. So you have to read my previous message from bottom to top :D

I like the new method. I have no need of selection.

I like new method too, but I would like slight modification. If you plan to play games next day at the same time is not smart to make moves only 24h ahead, but few hours reserve too. So I wish change that games that have less than let's say 30h (instead of 24h) is played by shorthest time, but after this you stay with the same game type.
