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.
The biggest problem is that he surely cannot remember a game from one move to the next.

He is probably moving fastest in the games he is winning which accounts for the rating rise.

Expect his rating to drop once the losses and time outs kick in.

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.

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.

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).

I played him and what was more - he was chatting with every move almost - nice guy.

this may be the cure for chess addiction --- an overdose of game will kill the urge to play chess the rest of your life.

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.
