What was your longest online chess winning streak?

What's the most wins you've gotten in a row? Playing competition somewhere near your rating (as it moves up) I should add.

"As it moves up" -- so you mean on a new site, playing a bunch of new people with your new rating.  This is not an impressive streak.

Mine is something like 40 or 50 at least.

If you go on a winning streak you don't think your rating would go up?

Exactly.  If you face players on par with your strength (regardless of rating) your streak cannot last long.  It's like asking, how many fish have you ever played in a row?

mine was 12 when I was beating the newbies.

21.  The loss that broke the streak was a 960 loss to Ouachita.

kco

don't think 960 should be counted with the turn-based.

No idea about the longest streak, especially online. But I did win all 11 games in a blitz tournament once:

I'm wondering the same thing.

pattrik

As for my winning streak, I think it was 16 or 19 games...

Dietmar

I think I started out with 19 but one of my opponents is now at a cool 37 but I hope I can slow him down ...

planeden

what do you know, i have some consistency.  my winning streak is 4 and my losing streak is also 4.  now, if could just draw 4 in a row i'll be set.  dang, that means i have to draw my current game or my symmetry will be messed up.
