Most "Online Chess" Games at same time?

I currently have over 60 games going 24 hours per move. What's the record? Who wants some?

You are not even in the ball park. There is a guy named Ramon who was playing 4,919 games at once about two years ago. He set the standard for a while but eventually crashed and burned, timing out on 958 games in a row.

Ramon has since recovered his rating and seen it fall off a cliff numerous times but I don't believe that he approached that number of games again.

There is a guy Mishrafish who is reportedly up to 4,936 at the present time. He had obviously set his sights on passing Ramon after his stats were first posted six months ago when he was only at 1270 simultaneous games. (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/most-simultaneous-games?)

It appears that Mishrafish is now teetering on the edge with a sharp drop in his rating recently to 1248 (from 1660 in August) and his own timeout percentage rising to 12%.

At any rate, you have a way to go. 

Good lord how can you even start that many games?!

Consider:

For 5000 games using 3 days per move, and moving at a rate of 5 seconds per move, a person will need to spend a minimum average of ~2.5 hours a day simply to not time out. This is fairly fast though, and likely represents the minimum time AFTER the person has lost hope and is about to give up, and has resorted to just randomly moving in every game.

10 to 20 seconds is probably a more likely average. After all, you need time to orient yourself to the new position. This of course makes it 5 to 10 hours a day, every day, to avoid timeout. And at the rate of 3 days per move, games may last 3-5 months. The burn out is understandable!

Joining the top 100 groups would be a good start. Then you could sign up for every match.

Still, I wonder how long it takes to build up this many.

Another interesting thought... chess.com is unique in all of history for being able to play a large number of games like this. Setting a record here is very likely also setting a world record for number of simultaneous games.
