Player A makes a move, and sends info to the server plugin (gameId, move). Server plugin sends the game state for the chosen game. Player A chooses one of the waiting games and asks for the game state of it. Server checks database to see which games are waiting for Player A to move, and sends that info. If a player makes a move in a given game, and the opponent is not currently online, then that game would be removed from the active games in memory, until the opponent does come online.

On ElectroServer, I would just have a server level plugin that holds the info on each active game in memory, and persists the current game state to a database after each move is approved.

I do really like Photon but it seems like overkill for turn-based multiplayer. Certainly within my skill set but not what I prefer to spend time. So for multiple persistent matches I would need to mod the server SDK and run my own Photon server(s). Only to realize I can't persist room data with Photon cloud. I already ported it to use PhotonCloud with RPCs, and it works great. allow multiple matches! This is a turn-based game and I want to enable players to have multiple matches, much like in Draw Something or other social games. Unity plugin, or c# assembly, or unity friendly I might want to port it to Windows and webplayer later. cpu) I am initially targeting iOS, Android and MacOS.
