I run around 20.  Of course I am also very active in live chess and I play in the ICCF as well (currently running 8 games there, all roughly the equivalent of 5 days/move)

I can barely cope with more than 30 at once. One of my opponents has 366 games in progress!

I have an awful lot and it probably hurts play but I still do it...  Go figure.

11.

I have experienced that having to much games at once decreases the pleasure when you are also busy with other things.

I wanted to get to 100 just for the heck of it.  Now that I have done it, I definitely want to cut back.  I am working on doing that, little by little.  Eventually, I want to get back down to about 30 or 40, at most.

# is different for every person, (time avail. etc.) for me 10 to 20 is best more than that my quality of play falls!

Usually keep about 10 going split between here and redhotpawn.com.  I recently started playing Go also and have about 30 games going, but that's just because I'm new to the game.

68 at present. Too much if being honest with myself as careless mistakes are creeping in.... Need to cut down to a more manageable level for me, although I recognise that some players can cope with a lot of games but not me. Got carried away with joining various tournaments and the chickens are about to come home to roost.

Used to be close to 20, now I keep it between three and five (though when a tournament starts I automatically have several more than that).  I like to be able to remember each and every game, including several moves back and my overall plan.
