Some people enjoy always having a move to make-approaching each game more as a study position to be solved than a continuous game.
Others may have issues (health, social, career) that allot them a lot of free time. In that case, you really do have time for hundreds of games.
As for me, ten is enough :)
I currently just went up to over 160, (mostly unrated greeter games) and this was for a lot of reasons.
1. I like to always have a move to make.
2. It allows me to see a lot more positions, which, even though it might not help my rating here, will improve my chess.
3. many more that I cannot think of/am too lazy to write down.
thats nice...
Why not?
There was a player here that had over 3000 games at one time ..... I havent seen more than that yet !
Man! 3,000? I would think that the server would crash with that guys games and everyone else's.
Why should you play 900 games at one time? What's the point?

They do TakeErEasy?
That makes sense now
That is an insane number!!! I would do it though if I didn't have other things to do besides chess. I would love to play all day long!

I disagree :D
I know that there are players with hundreds of games going with lower-rated players with the aim of piling up rating points quickly in a misguided attempt to reach number 1.
how? you don't get any points if you win against low-rated opposition.
For some people quantity is more important than quality. They are probably the same people who, in a 5 minute + 3 seconds/move, try to finish with the game with more time than they started with.
