That is unbelievable. I think you win already.

Everyone who has played a long time easily has over 10K.

This guy has lost almost 30K bullet games for example, and of course that's only on chess.com

This person has lost 40K blitz games.

It takes longer to lose blitz games than bullet games tongue.png

I was exaggerating when I said I'd lost 50K.

Probably more like 10-20K.

But there are some... probably fairly sick people, who have a ludicrous amount of games played.

I say sick because, you know, maybe they can't leave their bed and so they play chess all day. It's kind of sad really sad.png

It takes longer to win Blitz games.  Technically you can lose them just as fast as Bullet games!

Haha, I suppose so.

Although, you know, in practice people are always trying to win, not lose!

 Absolute numbers don't mean much though.  If you play a lot you lose a lot so you may as well ask who has played the most bullet games.

I don't think I've played a single bullet game in the last few years.  I used to play a fair few (nowhere near those who have binges of hours on end playing though!), but then I just decided I didn't need the stress in my life!  Time pressure in Blitz is more fun and controllable and having Bullet skills when playing Blitz gives a big advantage over so many of my opponents who have never played Bullet (on this site at least)

There was some reddit post showing the top 100 chess.com users with most games played.

It was something like "notice how no one is over 2000 and most are under 1500."

So yeah. These people are obsessed. They're not playing to get better.

Well, you don't play Bullet to get better though anyway.

 When I was new to chess I played nothing but 3/0 for years, and I improved.

Really slowly, but I improved.

And the people who are playing to get better aren't obsessed?
