Not too shabby with 1183 ongoing games.
Why do some players play sooo many daily games simultaneously?
Sort:
Who was that 15 year old gal who formed all those clubs/ had followers galore? Played 1000’s of games rarely losing, learned but a few months previously.
She was slicker than Colby

I'm currently playing 21 games and usually play about 10-25 games at a time. It gives me more experience, a chance to make moves at just about any time of day, and helps me to learn to see patterns and scenarios. It gives me a chance to complete 1-5 games per day. On the downside, I tend to move too quickly and make mistakes and blunders.

Think about them like puzzles. You simply play the best move you can and move on.

Hey all. I have noticed that in the daily game format there are many players playing huge amounts of games at once. I mean we are talking 70 or more games at once as an example. First off....why? What is the attraction? How is it possible to concentrate on so many games? How do they even manage to keep track of all those games, positions, playing styles, tactical ideas etc across all these games? I am fascinated tand intrigued to understand the reasoning. Plus many have beginner to intermediate range elos. I barely can keep track of 5 games or so at a time.. lol. I would love to hear opinions on this. Maybe some of these "power" daily players can explain the motivation and advantages they get from this style of playing.
i dont understand either

I think I've seen someone playing 3000 games...at the moment I'm playing ( or rather waiting to ) a guy who plays 1000 games, average time per move 59hrs, timeout 11%
Player like him unnecessarily prolong tournaments by many months, tournament directors should limit average time per move to 6hrs or 9hrs.

I have sometimes had 100 + going at once. As someone has said, you just treat each one like a puzzle.
just look at @i1slamov and @fongchunkit. If a daily tournament exists, they’re in it.
