Originally posted by BedlamIf I play too many after a while I just start rushing to finish them, play the first move that comes into my head and throw another game away.
I did post this in another thread..which seems to have been removed now.
While I think it might be possible (but pretty time consuming) to do 100+ games at 2000 level...take the example of 87 moves a day, normal OTB games you will make about 35-50ish moves in 90+ mins so 87 correspondence moves a day you are probably looking at at least 3 hours day after d ...[text shortened]... r good player is around 40-50, although there will be real players who are an execption to this.
I think it is important to focus on quality rather than quantity.

Greasemonkey - sorry dunno what that is either, sounding like a complete fool now :-/
I'll play around with those notes... thanks for that.

Originally posted by GalaxyShieldI don't understand how it's possible for you to play 400+ simultaneous games, and manage to keep a 1700+ rating peaking as high as 1900+. Seriously, how do you do it? How do you even play 400+ games at one time.
I tend to play lots of games with longish time controls (most of them are 7/7 or longer). I also like sprints, which are easier to play when the majority of your other games aren't needing moves right away. I generally move quickly in all of my games regardless of time control, but that really depends on the position and how much time I have. I don't move in every game every day either, which helps keep burnout low.
Originally posted by cmsMasterCan't. I lose most of them when I do that as I make elementary blunders.

Originally posted by cmsMasterI know you mean him, just saying that I can't do it - I'm obviously not good enough.
No, I mean Galaxyshield. 412 games in progress - he's insane.
Couldn't even do it with an engine unless I could write an interface that monitored RHP found when my opponent had moved, downloaded the pgn, calculated and moved and I didn't need to be involved. It would take a little time to do this, lets say 2 minutes a move and if we play with 3/?? time limits it could perhaps manage 2160 games.
Would there be any point in that, probably not and someone might just get suspicious after a while that I played such perfect chess 24 hours a day every day.

Originally posted by tmetzlerHow strange was that. I particularly loved the horizontal Knight move in that one game. Was it ever actually proven that it was automated computer use as it doesn't seem the player was particularly strong?

That was before the creation of the game mods. The player disappeared without a word right after that thread was created.
I also just noticed he still has his star despite:
Last moved 789 days 8 hours and 17 minutes ago
But if you look at his first post ever on the site:

I'm writing a winboard based client for RHP. So far I've been able to grab games and fen from the site, but I'm somewhat at a loss on how to make moves, i.e. which url to access with which parameters in order to make a move in a particular game.
Any ideas?
