I recently got my games up to 35 concurrent. I don't know about anyone else but this is WAY too many for me. If i don't play for a couple of days it takes me 2-3 hours to update them all. Looking around i see people with 200+ games. How the hell can anyone play that many? I've got a game going on that, when i looked at it, i didn't remember making any moves, the position was alien to me. I had to spend 20 minutes looking over my previous moves to find out how i'd got to where i was. Well i've learned my lesson, im cutting to 25, no more!

blitz chess ... 5 seconds max per game ... Ask Luck, he'll tell you ... I do that occasionally too, but have to be very careful not to mess up a clan challenge not giving my best effort ;-)
In the more interesting games I can remember what happened.
In the less interesting games, I can play the board regardless of how the pieces got to be where they are.
I peaked at ~120 games I think; now down to 50; I think about 30 is the right number for me. Perhaps as my game count goes down, my rating can sneak up a little higher ...

The problem is that I make a ton of stupid moves, which leads to losses. I usually resign at very late stage, just in case :o)
Since I am not playing every day, i suffer a lot of T/O losses.
