Does anyone have more concurrent games than I do?

You sound like me 40 years ago she would have a fit if she knew I was over 100 consistently. Keep up good work. As long as you you keep up with school/ work play to your heart,s desire.

I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class, getting an (almost) full ride to college, and my chess rating is higher than I thought it would get. Can't ask for much more.

take my hat of to you , ive thought in the past certain players must be insane to have so many games going but im judging them on my abilities (ie i struggle with too many games) and not theirs

its a good eye opener to hear your view on this and ive learnt to appreciate your way too although im too much of a wimp to emulate you

Thanks for the kind words - it's appreciated. And surely don't call yourself a wimp - I don't think most people in their right minds would even consider pulling off a feat of this magnitude. And for most people it wouldn't even be possible if they tried. But as I said, I have the time for now as a younger player, and I'm enjoying it while I can.

Trolling the forums requires more skill.

User Uzhegov has 1300+ games going, so slightly more than me. Rating difference is a bit more significant, but still impressive nonetheless.

Hi! I'm one of your current opponents. I have zero problem with the speed you play at. It's well within the rules and anyone who doesn't like it should play with faster time controls. That being said I will say that because I only play a move in our game every five days it is not a game I'm especially invested in. It doesn't have a great effect on how I play but it probably has a subtle influence. Just food for thought.

It's good food. That's why I always tell people that there are so many other ways to play on this site that use faster time controls. There's also correspondence tournaments that require faster player speeds. They were not obligated to join a tournament with players of all speeds. And I am not obligated to move faster (though I do try to honor it if they ask).

Congratulations on making it to page 35 of the most games of correspondence chess / online/ daily played list. (With 50 names per page, you're in the top 1750!!!)

You might want to keep an eye on how many these guys are playing:

I didn't know there was a way to sort players like that. That looks intriguing.

extraordinary... maybe you dont remember that we've played 2 times LOL 

Yes, and you destroyed me both times. You're also playing in a tournament I'm directing right now, and you're on fire. It might look like I'm good based on my rating, but I'm really not all that special lol
