do these people have no lives!?!?

i curently have 109 or so games going on and while i thouroughly enjoy this it seems like i can never catch up. Ill move through all my games and when im done ill have 20 moves ready for me again. Seriously i swear these people sit at their computers all day and do nothing. they need to get out more lol.

Haha, yeah that used to happen to me. Some people move really fast. Still, if I were playing 109 games, I wouldn't want to be a hypocrite :)

I have 3 games going but my avg time/move is 40 minutes

yes but my avg time per move is like 10 hours or something not 10 minutes i go on everyday after school and before bed thats it these guys carry their computer around with them or something.

That picture should be posted on every fat person who calls another fat person fat and ugly, and tries to deny they are fat and ugly.

Fewer games is a good idea.

so im fat and ugly besides the fact i play rec soccer as a midfeilder? i may be ugly but not fat.

 And i know i should have less games but i entered  a lot of tournements i shouldnt have thus resulting in too many games.

Playing chess on the internet is a life, Right Guys?

Guys?

All things in moderation.

And a thick skin helps out alot when participating in internet forums.

it can be a life dont worry.... its just not my ideal life. 

(And im actually playing you in a tournement right now vanilla >:) your gonna lose)

exactly but sometimes those things really hurt

lol, so we are!

I'm going to lose?  Probably.

yup youve only got 370 points on me.

I should just resign now, it's hardly worth me putting up a fight.

Also, you've lost a lot less games than me.

Oh, rating points. I thought you were talking about member points.

You have 109 games going????

perhaps they just seem to be able to log on at the time you make your moves?

I am in 8th grade and have lots of homework, so I only have around 15 minutes each day to check on my email and my chess.com online games. They might just have logged on the same time you play your moves and played their moves as they see you have just played yours.

The secret of life is moderation...109?...you need to get out more. Expand your horisons, get into other stuff, meet new friends...

Please can somebody explain to me what attracts a person to play 109 games  at the same time ?

And what are the benefits by playing so much games toghether ?   Isn't it true that playing too much games at the same time prevents a player  from really playing well; because he cannot take  enough time to estimates well the positions at the chessboard. Ending up in a routine without the quality of playing he could have.

Is this a form of addiction ? And if yes, exactley what are the causes of this addiction to playing chess all the times at a level too low for this player ? 

One reason could be is that they log in, no moves in their games or they have finished moving in them .. they don't want to do anything else on the site other than play their games. Bored waiting for someone else to move, they create/start a new game. Doing this several times then gets them quite a large list of games. 

Late at night I play cards on an ipod device, I have over 25 games of turn based gin rummy, but each day maybe only 4 people moved/played. The app doesn't time these other people out unless they don't move for a month, so I have about 20 games just sat there. I want a game of cards, nobody is online taking their turn so I start a new one.

Fair enough i don't have 109 games+  but if the app let me create that many and these people don't move, I may end up having that many.

Its just a different persepective on it, also that it does depend quite a bit on how many of your opponents log in regularly to play.
