Hi All, I was wondering what was your best winning streak ever? Mine was 20 (including over the board and internet games) games without getting beaten. (3-4 draws and 16 wins) Don't you love it when you have one of those weeks where everything seems to go right?

My worst losing streak was I think 11 straight defeats in a row. =( Those were tough days..=(

My chess club is closed over the summer. Last summer we played blitz instead, with four or five friends on fridays, at home. Usually I'd play about 50%.

Except for one memorable night. I drank two bottles of red wine, sang along to No More Shall We Part for six hours, and won every single game all night. Bad games, good games, sharp attacks, boring endgames, lucky wins on time, whatever. All wins. Heaven must be like this. Hell is where you lose all games to a drunk guy who can't sing.

Anyway, that was of course just one night, since then it's back to the same old level...

Yeah it seems good, but i would say averaged 70% of the players where 300 points below me and the others where about the same or slightly higher which for me included 1800-1900+ players. Then i was losing to players 300 and more below me and my own level major ouch factor! And a very good way to be brought back to earth hahaha....Cool
