What I don't like is the algorithm which chooses what the next game is. If you have some number of games -- say 20 -- which are waiting for you to move, and some opponent who is online, moving at the same time as you, then you end up doing nothing but making moves with each other, due to the "next game" routine bringing that one (or a few) game(s) back up. The Your Next Game button send you to the next game where you moved since more time. This doesn't exactly mean "the next game where the last player before you moved since more time", but this logic works anyway after (max) two times you move in the same game in a row.
The only kind of game preceding every other in the Your Next Game list, is the one where you are already in an automove state. This was done to give you a better chance to exit from the automove status during the 24hours windows the site gives to every automovers to move, before being automoved.
This is the best approach we could use, given the data saved on our database, and it was implemented a couple of weeks ago.
