The King Is Going Down

A sad moment for us all 

The tournament king (or should I say monster?) lordbobbetti has finally met his doom: he ran out of vacation time!

It's heartbreaking to see him lose one of his 950 games every couple of minutesCry

It will take a very long time before he can get his timeouts below 5% again in order to play in tournaments. 20 x 950 = 19000 games. How long does he usually take to play a game? Say one month on average at the quickest. So if he plays 950 games all the time it will still be 20 months at least, probably 2-3 years with no time out remaining this year.

 

Either Eric does him a favour and reset his timeout stats and sets an upper limit on  the number of concurrent games or he deletes his account and starts a new one.

Yesterday, His ranking was down to 900's but then late last night his ranking was back up to 1500's.  What has caused this and why?

This is a chess tragedy for him!

But a couple days before I sent him message with advice, to take enough rest, read and not only play...

He send me message back , that he doesn't have time to read the blocks!... He play 1000 games!

And I think, that 'connection problems' from our website were not pleased by him, too...

Too bad, by tomorrow morning he will be losing on time outs another 330 games.

Why all the concern over this? He obvioulsy took on WAY more than he could handle and now he's paying the price for it. If someone keeps playing russian roulette until they finally blow their brains out should we weep for them ?
