How many games can you comfortably manage?

For me, if I have too many on the go I tend not to devote the required time to each one and consequently lose games I may otherwise win.

I think my ideal amount to have running at once is between 5 & 10...

Anyone else?

yea about 10 is ideal, but at the moment i have 30ish because of the leagues and the 2nd round of a tourny starting, i feel i cant follow more than 10 games

I can comfortably handle 30.... I find after that it starts to get a bit much...

I like to have about 30. That way I can remember every game, and devote the time needed without being pressured.

75-100 odd. Anymore than that (I had about 180 last weekend!) and I struggle to keep up.

Trouble is when you're quiet you take on more tournaments and you finish your games and then have to wait for the round to end, so you take on more games and more tournaments and then suddenly the next round in about 5 tournaments start at once and you're swamped!

I don't think I can handle even one game comfortably. Two and I'm heading for a nervous breakdown.

About 30. I also find myself bored sometimes and I start more games and challenges and then suddenly everyone moves at once and I just fry.

After working down from 60, 30 feels like nothing at all.

LOL at everybody!


(Maybe not so loudly at Wheels.)

well the most I have played before are about 400 games but it was hard to keep my rating up

I have around 50 and that's way too much for me, especially when I notice I'm playing the same player four times. What is the point in that. Also, the one day timeouts don't help. I end up spending my day stomping out those little spinning clocks. I guess I'd be more comfortable with around 20. Although, i've seen a few players handle around a hundred. I don't see how they can do that without withdrawing from life altogether.

10 - 15, but really depends upon how fast people move.

I now aim low and in the quite periods top up with uchess.

I wish the leagues had less teams per division - 18 games to start at once is too much - and planing their likely start date impossible.

I have more than 30, and it's too much for me right now.
