How many online game at once?

Not a pressing question, but how many online games have you had going on simultaneously? 

Enough. I'm not aware of a limit. A few players constantly have hundreds at once.

I have never had more than 10 at once. If you have too many you can't dedicate proper analysis time to each of them.

I have seen a player with over 600 before. With that many he had moves going down to the wire all the time.

This member has more than 1200 games in progress.

At an average of 1 minute a game per day that's... let's see, only 20 hours a day.  Seems reasonable

Ok, so 5 seconds browser loading time and 5 seconds selecting and pressing "submit" is 10 seconds per game.  Now to move in 1200 games / day it's only ~3 hours... that is if you can imagine moving at the rate of 1 move/ 5 second for 3 hours straight.

Only 4% timeouts, that's not bad at all for that many games.

Time controls? tyia

Yeah, let's check back in 1 month

Looks like all are 3 day games.

I have 10 currently, the most so far, and it's enough to keep busy. Seems to be a comfortable amount so far. I've seen a player or two with 40-60 games but 1,200? Hhhhmmmm.... going to have to check his progress and see how he does

76 was my max. That was before Chess.com existed so they were called correspondence games and were on other sites. I play crappy when the number exceeds 20.

There have been similar threads in the past.  I think someone from India was the "winner" with 1600 games.  More than 5 or 6 and I start to panic.   Most I've seen in an actual opponent was 200 and he was sandbagging a little with 10% timeout ratio.  

My tiny brain can't cope with anything that reaches into double figures

Went up to 12 recently and my head very nearly exploded - you could see steam coming out of my ears.

Honestly I have to replay at least the last 6 or so moves just to try to remember what was happening in each game if there are even small gaps in play. I am not sure if I have a terrible memory or if this is normal - but if it is normal how can anyone play 1200 games - even if they are all 3 day games.

How can you enjoy playing that many? Wont each game just blur into one big chess headache?

Why isn't A&E littered with cases of people overindulging on chess.com and giving themselves a brain hemorrhage???

And why with only the few games I have going did I play that stupid knight when I meant to move my bishop to fork check with the rook???

See I can't cope with the few games I have ...

Too much chess can't be good for you!

Agreed, Soorat92... after I joined a few teams and started playing online tournaments, I thought I could handle about 12-15 games but a it turned out, I couldn't. I've been on losing streak and lost about 7 or 8 unnecessarily. I think I said that 9 or so games seemed comfortable but then I ended upwith 15 or so and began to make a lot of mistakes..... no excuses here, but same thing happened to me (smoke out the ears!).

After these tournaments ggames, I will go back to 3-4 simul online games and get my confidence back... but you bring up a good point in that with so many games- there's no real enjoyment (at least for you and I), in that all the games become blurred and I forget in a day what I was thinking before I made my last move.... I think it's good experince if you don't care about losing/rating and in the long run you can become better, but for move by move, specific game play- there's no fun.... espwhen you lose! haha.... hang in their Soorat.... we still have time to make a comeback! and merry Xmas, y'all!
