I have left the site about 2 months ago due to some problems. I had entered a tournament back then. After coming back to the site last week, i have decided to decrease my game load as much as possible and to join only one clan. Now that i see the tournament that i have entered back then has just started round 2. So i've got 8 more games in progress.
I'm asking for advice here. I'm going to join a clan tomorrow, and i have made a deal that no more than 20 clan challenges would be givin to me at a time so as to keep my game load down.
With 18 games in progress and 20 clan challenges would increase my game load. I will be able to cope and play. But won't be comfortable. One reason i left the site back then because of my game load, i really don't want to fall in that trap once again.

Any advise for what to do? Should i continue on with the tournament games or what?

If u resign the tournie games without making a move, then your rating won't be affected.

Well, you have several options there. You could wait with joining a clan. Or you could ask the clan leader of the clan you want to join whether it would be okay if you play very few games (mabye just one or two challenges) in the beginning, until the game load from the tournament is reduced. Or you don't continue on with the tournament. It certainly seems wise not to play more games than you are comfortable with.

I'm guessing it's the Vidar Grouped Random? Well in your place, I'd just play out the games and then cut down... I went down from about 70 games to about 30... weirdly, my rating has gone down proportionally 😕
But with 3/7 time controls, you should be able to play without overloading... it might pi$$ off your opponents if you move too slowly, put that'll save you from feeling overloaded 😉

For someone like me, i don't really care about my rating as i resigned over 60 games back then 🙁. I feel bad for letting my clan leaders down. That's why i'm back here intending not to fall for the same mistake. I promise that i will do my best! I would put all my concentration in the games that would be givin to me from my clan. Too many games in progress makes me lose concentration.
I have already made a move in the tournie games. 2 moves in one game.

Should i resign?! I think i will. I have to play all the best for the clan that i will be joining tomorrow

Cheers 🙂

I got many offers, from what you (angie) call unpopular clans 😉

But i'm still thinking about which one will best suit me!

I have to hit my rating back to the top.

Huh, it's a long way 🙁
