Wii Bowling  In bowling a perfect game is 12 strikes in a row or a perfect score of 300.

I have 456 perfect games in Wii bowling.  This is not a world record--some guy has more than 1000 such perfect games.

I did tie the world record for the highest rating in Wii Bowling.

I've had a 179-game winning streak in chess, followed by a 105-game winning streak soon thereafter:

But not including all decimals.

Don't argue with decimals. I never missed a point.

No offense to ponz but how can you consistently boast about something with 0 proof. Anyone could go longer than that playing new to the game kids.

True story,

Drew a 2199 in a simul with a Scandinavian. From that moment, big practitioner of the Scandinavian. That's my best score, my worst was losing to an 800.

I do not make things up. Have recorded some of the perfect games in Wii bowling. Also my Wii rating which was tied for highest in the world gives an indication. I know that someone could bowl so many perfect games on Will bowling is hard to believe.

Will give you another one: In Wii Tennis I tied the world record for highest rating.  To do this you must be able to play against their very best bots and win something like 20 plus games in a row without allowing them to win a single point in the 20 games.

Yes, Wii bowling and Wii tennis are just games. So is chess. So is duplicate bridge. So is poker. I just happen to excell in these type of games.

I once bowled a 899 series at the Tupalo Valley Lanes, missing by a single pin joining the 900 Club.

None of this video joystick armchair crap for me.

It was not video armchair joystick but nevertheless your bowling achievement was quite impressive!

One very proud moment was GM Kaidanov calling one of my games perfect and a different game a year later a 2100s questioned one of my games for being so well played then called it perfect as well. I've also been in accused of cheating a few times.

Back when play station 3 had the online server play station home there were various spots to play chess in US version and European version but no leader boards or track records to look at, you knew who was strong through word of mouth. To end that I hosted a tournament and invited every chess player that I ever saw there and that other people knew of to see who the best was and I won it. It was a K.O. format tournament and a few local tough guys were missing so I had doubters. to prove myself I did a Karpov and simply played every single person one on one quite a few times and had a plus score against everyone. Had I known they'd shut home done I would have streamed my times playing there just to show proof. Side note naturally I had many streaks being unbeaten. There was one guy accused of flat out cheating who I drew and he exposed himself when he accused me of cheating since he was using a engine. What engine I'll never know but the mind soars to think about how I must have drew some master level engine. I deffenitly don't think it was GM strength so he must have purposely been using a strong but not super strong to remain under "the radar"
