LOL! I also have 92 games in progress. I find that my brain gets fried if I make too many moves in a row.
As for zakk's suggestion: It's a good idea and in another body I would do it, but I have little patience. I do slow down a little bit and the result has been a lot less blunders. But after all is said and done, I can move in 15 games in only about 8 minutes. That's more of a rush for me. I have said many times and will say again, I am the speed chess champion from my high school, it kind of carries over to this site as well.
92 games!! I won't get over that for a while, I guess you don't have too many 1/N/A games.
Originally posted by Whats goin on ehYes, it is a good idea to slow down, because I found that I was blundering far too often in my games. Once I slowed my moves down slightly, my rating jumped up, because I wasn't making stupid moves. Occasionally though, I'm tired when I make moves, and that was recently a problem when I threw away my queen for a pawn. Horrifying. As far as the 92 games go, 26 of those came from a recently started clan tournament, and 12 more came from a W tournament that I created. My 92 games is far more than I would like, and I normally prefer to be in the 40-50 range. I don't have too many 1/N/A games? What's that mean?

Originally posted by WildfireSorry, I work with program code and javascript so I use too many "/" than most other people know what to do with.

I meant what zakk said about 1 timeout and no timebank. I get myself into a few of those and I would imagine you don't.
Originally posted by Whats goin on ehNope, I do my best to avoid those. 3/7 or higher is my preference.

Originally posted by WildfireThat's good to know, I'll keep in mind when I want a rematch. Not now of course, I'll wait until your game load goes to where you are comfortable with. Besides, I still have some ways to go before I can give you a good game.

Originally posted by WildfireYou're right, no blunders, you just beat me with good strategy. I look forward to a rematch. Next time, I won't resign so as not to interrupt your "groove".
No, you didn't do too bad in this game.
