I have 53 games, 0% timeout, but there's people that manage hundreds without timing out.

135 games in progress was my high. Then, as now, I've never timed out in a game.
that's awesome. It's kind of easier for you, though, being a NM... your whole life is centered around chess.

Kacparov has 402 in progress right now. 0% time out and a rating of 2134. I think its pretty cool.

That's a very bold and probably untrue assumption.
I would think that if you were going for impressive, you'd have to take the time of the games into account. 50 games with 1 day timeouts might be more impressive than 250 with 7 day timeouts, by certain ways of thinking.

that's true... maybe it should be changed to
best # of online games at one time : best % Timeout: to fastest move speed
ratio.
(and in case you're wondering, which I'm sure you're not, My average move time is just under 4 hours.)
Hey, I know this is old now, but if you're still linked then - this guy I'm playing currently has 400 games in progress with a timeout of 4%. How's that! I checked as he was online but didn't seem to move much in his game with me. Obviously becoz he had another 399 games to fit in! (he is 'wolf30' by the way, in case you want to check him out).

I know someone with 506 games in progress and a 4% timeout ratio, although his games in progress used to be much higher (600+). His time per move is also only 6 hours, 40 minutes.

wolf30 has a time per move of 12:30. Kinda slow.
i have 443 games and have a timeout ration of 2%
I wonder who has the most online games going at the same time as well as having a low timeout percentage. I think I might be a good contendor with 44 games at the same time currently (although it could be 43 shortly) and a 0% Timeout percentage. Anybody else got something better?
