I was wondering how on earth he can keep up with the games. I joined the last (June) hardcore grand tourney, 0/21, and of course he did as well. I myself am going mad by the load of games I have to make moves in, blundering in some of them already, and I'm still below 100 games... but as people said, he seems to make decent moves. All the same, it would make me go crazy just to think about it.

I guess that guy is the new phenomena on this site...though I admit I am amazed as well, but not really worth paying attention to.

Probably a potential 1800 player.

Ex: User 332714 has 962 in progress at this moment!

1705 rating and 1507 games in progress as of this post. I know what he is doing: He's trying to get his # of games in progress to exceed his rating, but he's playing too well--so he piles on more games.

He's playing ratings all over the map and doing tolerably well against all.

amazing!!!

1718 rating and 1547 games in progress. That's a net increast of 40 games in 23 hours.

1729 rating and 1589 games in progress
(+42 games in 20 hours)

The guys insane, I'm having trouble keeping up with 40+ games! Imagine what his rating could be if he played less games and concentrated more on them.

He is playing reasonably well in the 4 games I am playing him but in the 2 that are out of the opening I am material up and should win both.

This guy can have no life other than chess. If I get above 50 games I can't cope, start rushing moves and blunders sneak in (in fact blunders rush in).

if i forget what was happening in a game, which happens all the time, i just do the analyze board thing and go back a few moves. very helpful

1601

13 in last 4 hours, and still can maintain a rating of of 1700, 1710 right now

He might make it to 2,000 games 😲

I probably won't get to that many total games by 50 years, even if I play some bullet.

Maybe he can post, I'd like to see what goal he has in mind.
