Of course we have every right to take as long as it takes to make a move...but 567 games?...Would be annoying for those who wait for the next round to start...Maybe a time limit on how long a tournament should last....Some of these go on for years...By then either the player passed away or lost interest...
Should there be a limit on how many games a member has?
Sort:
It just occured to me that either this player is incarcerated and has plenty of time to play chess or he or she is using some sort of computerized chess board to make the moves programed not to lose...Over 560 games is laughable...

Then there's the Russian guy passed out on the table.
Record 847 wins / 2 losses / 0 Draws with 1254 active, on-going games.
1000 active Daily games are played by at least a half dozen players.

I know someone that had even 2100+ on-going games, now are the downed too under the 1000...

i am playing in a club in house championship and my one opponent is playing over 2004 games . . .
The others in the 18 groups finished all the games except for this fellow . . .
With that many games even with three days to move, it doesn't seem that he could manage it by himself . . .
I filled a ticket just because of the number of games . . .
I have won four games and I'm leading the group. . .
So instead of playing him the last game, I resigned the game. . . .
I been watching their progress it is tiresome . . .
Support said that they might limit the number of games . . .
Here's the link . . .

Example::: I am playing in a tournament where my opponent has 567 games...We are the last two remaining players while others have to wait to move on to the next round...This could take months...He makes a move every 3 days which is alloted to us..Many times we are both online and he does not continue making moves to finish the game....Understandable considering he has to make a move to over 100 other games otherwise he would lose on time...Solution::: not allow so many games...set a limit...
