It depends on what else is going on in my life. If I'm busy or frazzled, I don't play more than ten at a time. When I foolishly sign up for tournaments I end up with many games at once.

I usually play as many as 45 games at a time. When that starts to get a little crazy I bring the count down into the low 20's. I'm now playing an opponent who is playing 850 games. How he does it, without losing his sanity, is mystery to me.

I am down to around 300 games, from my little over 600 games! 😉

Now I even have time to banter in the forums a little. 🙂

But that is nothing...Heng has had over 1200 games going at once!!
I have no idea how he managed them all.

Usually ten to fifteen or so, in answer to your question, but in an another sense only one at a time. After the early opening moves, with

few exceptions, the games all take turns getting set up (with my weighted/worn Staunton pieces and old beige & green vinyl board) on

the dining room table. Enjoy moving them around. Eyes still getting used to a 2-dimensional laptop screen. OTB is all I've ever known.

That post makes me think perhaps I should set up a board or two and play some games on them for practice. Been a long, long time, since I played OTB.

Perhaps I should play the game I just started with korch as one of them. Might help slow down my moving, and look a little deeper into the lines.

I play about 2 dozen games at a time and I keep a written scoresheet for each one. My moves are made in ink and variations I've worked out are made in pencil. For about half of these games, I find this a necessity but for the other half the moves by and large play themselves and require little thought.

I play between 100-300 games at a time. I've been trying to cut down and am below 100 at the moment! 🙂

Sounds like a good plan, Rusty. Let us know how it works out for you.

RHP game screen 'flip board' feature also seems somewhat helpful.

Only two, one is called chess, the other is called "God-fearing atheists don't believe in oxymorons" 🙂

Read previous post's on Heng....he does it by taking his time bank to the limit.......see a Tournament with his name and think twice on entering it...........

I generally play 50 games maximum but have played 70.I tend to find that if I am playing too many games at once,chess becomes a chore and the standard of my play drops drastically.I also counter this by choosing the highest timelimit,thus eliminating the need to move everyday.Although when the mood is upon me I can play constantly during the day,(time permitting,that is).
