How many games do you carry, and how much time per move do you
really take when making one?

I find my best performances are carrying 20-30 games on a 7:7 or longer format.
The time perameters mean I don't have to "clear my board" at every session for fear of being timed out and there's nearly always games to play when I log in.
I've never been timed out.
I am also a fan of the green dots(and I wish they were brighter, but that's another issue) and ...[text shortened]... ck it before pressing the submit button.
Why aren't I a higher rated player? - I miss things!!!

It makes a huge difference how much time you are prepared to spend!
I spend about 5 - 10 minutes per move, with the result that my games here aren't much better than my OTB games, maybe even worse because of the breaks in concentration.
A friend of mine who is weaker OTB is about 400 points stronger here, and initially I was suspicious, but he explained that he spends hours over every move, literally, and this makes all the difference.
