They either take just a few seconds on each move, or the have no work :)
Playing hundreds of correspondence games at once?

I'm playing my third 300+ opponent opponent rated around 1900/2000. They seem to cycle through their games about a dozen or so at a time, several times per day and don't really look all that deeply at the position. So far I have 3 wins and two games just begun. It seems like a compulsive need to play chess all day. They probably are institutionalized. 
I dont see how anyone can handle hundreds of games myself. I was going to try 100 and after I got about 50 games going it was too much and I can spend more time on chess than most people because I am retired AND my wife is also a chess player/fanatic so I catch no grief from her about the time I spend on chess ! It seems impossible to me for someone who is still in school and/or working and if they also have a family to take care of..... and possibly a wife or girlfriend that doesnt like chess...... oh my !

Apparently this multigame approach isn't a long-term winning strategy. Two of the three opponents who were around 1900/2000 that I have played with 300+ games have had episodes where they have lost 40-60 games at a pop by not logging in and entering a move.

Interesting thread, I can see how players can enter too many tournaments particularly if you get through the first round and don't know when the subsequent round will begin, a bit random. I fell into this my enthusiasm and got up to 25 or 30 "Dailies" with different min moves per day fortunately, and agree it eats into your life, I guess can become an obsession, and the number of best moves must surely reduce. Perhaps more than one person are playing on an account?
I think it would be kind if a maximum number of active games were limited to 50 or 100 Dailies. I only enter Non Vacation tournaments for this reason which limts the problem, slightly.
A number of players hold up tournaments unintentionally or otherwise, because they can barely keep up with the min required moves per day and frustrate the spirit of a tournament.
Any chance this proposal may be considered?

Hi,
Maybe an idea to make a suggestion and if enough interest then it could be implemented
https://support.chess.com/article/295-how-do-i-report-a-bug-or-make-a-suggestion
im curious, i see alot of people on here playing many and even hundreds of games at once, alot of them being active games where both people are online trading moves.
my question is : how do you do that? I had like 35 going at once because several tournaments went through at the same time mostly just an accident but seriously how do you not go insane playing that many games? I almost went crazy trying to stay on top of mine when i had that many i was sucked in at work, evenings after work, on the phone, all the time! It was taking up way too much of my time to make good moves in all those games. it doesnt help that im pretty OCD about making moves immediately after my opponent.
I know its definitely become easier to analyze positions now that i've been playing again for a few months after all these years but still, it seems like it would be very overbearing on your general lifestyle to play so many at once. Then again im more of a hobby player with only a little study here and there to try improving my game, its probably different if you're a person that avidly studies chess.
