Stop worrying about other peoples games and start worrying of ur own. If this person wants to play more games then most of us could handle thats their business not urs or mine. If they were cheating they would have been kicked off by now dont u think? So how about u mind urs and they mind theirs and we all be happy. Stop the back biting nonsense pls.

I think there are three motivations behind nervousness about ANIKO.

1) "She" may be cheating. Instead of playing one person, maybe I'm playing five different people pretending to be one person. Maybe I'm playing a bot. It's not what I signed up for. It's not fun. Although-- if it's a bot, it's a pretty bad chess playing bot.

2) She may be sick. I mean obsessive sick-- like one of those Korean kids that died from being up 36 hours playing games. I wonder whether I'm contributing to some sort of illness by playing chess with her.

3) There's a social dimension to chess and this feels icky. I don't feel she's taking her games seriously (not any single game, anyway), and I really don't enjoy playing her, but I'm stuck until she slooowly finished these games.

None of these are reasons to burn her as a chess witch, I suppose. But it's kind of creepy. Personally, I would like to be able to set a maximum concurrent games limit when I post a seek. (or maybe I can do that already and didn't notice it.) I just don't want to be one of three thousand faceless players on someone's game queue.

They're totally in their right to play as many games as they like but its not courteous when all you want to do is play chess and there's 3281 boards in the que!

 When someone accepts your seek you can abort the game at move one if you see that they have a few thousand games going or maybe they take 48 hours / move average or for any reason you wish. This way you do have some control over who you play even when you put out open seeks.

well I don't mind.
And don't believe her to be a computer since she can also reply the chat in hungarian, so I guess that's not the case....

There you go. That solves that. It's a person.

ANIKO'd get a chuckle out of this, for sure.

Has she ever said why she's playing so many games?

Just a thought here but I'd bet my house Aniko is not really a girl, just a hunch.

3316 games. I continue to be amazed.

The possible truth are:

- Aniko is sick at chess.

- Aniko is the chess bot designed by chess.com

- Aniko is cheater_1, or Erik.o

- Somebody come to chess.com to make trouble.

- Several persons sit in the same room to play these games.
