Only ten games at a time???
I rarely have less than thirty on the go at once!
Most of my oppo's do not play as often as me, so by having at least
thirty games I am guaranteed that at least a couple will have moved
by the time I log on!
Please can we revoke this suppressive legislation.
I am only 17 I cannot afford to become a porn star.

Why not the 10-game rule? Playing less games & spending more time
on your max. 10 games might greatly improve your chess-kills
(unless you don't care about quality). Take enough time for study
also. Another means for improvement.
And if you don't agree with the rule and do want to play more games,
well, there are dozens & dozens of other sites too, you know. Playing
+100 games on the Web is no problem. Paul Keres (late Grandmaster
& WCh candidate) played appr. 100 games simultaneously... by post.
But then, he WAS a prominent grandmaster after all and no
computers, databases, etc.
Okay... err... not even gonna attempt your name... there may be
many other sites, but I enjoy playing against people with whom I have
become acquainted on this site. Thus transplanting to another sites
would rip me away from these people, (as well as the pure comedy
that appears in this forum).
I do know who Paul Keres is thank you. And I am most certainly not
him. I have reached my plateau of chess. and though I occassionally
am introduced to new openings/tactics/etc. I invariably find that it is
the intellectual challenge of playing people at my own level that
attempting to become that which I will never achieve.
And I'm only 17, I play chess here in between periods!!! I don't have
the time for "study" - I mean c'mon...
The 10 game rule is this: If you have 10 or more games going at
one time, other players cannot challenge you to a game. HOWEVER,
(and I don't know what the big "TO DO" is about) you can make as
many "open invites" as you wish and challenge whom ever you wish
(those with less than 10 games could respond) to have as many
games going, as you want.
I only carry about 10 to 12 games at a time but several players have
30 or more games going all the time. Once a game ends an open
invite or challenge is made.
Personally, I don't find the 10 game rule the least bit restrictive. And
I have no idea what the whiners are worried about - I guess for them
something HAS to wrong!
it seems you were right! this what i did. mastercheat hasnt got any
games at the moment. stevens has 8 . as you noticed i started
games. THIS IS the result. stevens could only issue one invite !! so
much for that. master cheat issued 3 invites and were taken by
stevens. bringing stevens up to 11 games. master cheat then issued
another 3 invites also taken by stevens! bringing stevens games to
14 . so thats how it works. its a pity someone has to resort to
multinicks to answer these questions.
