Hmmm, I just noticed something, I am already playing 32 games and when the tournies I am in get started, I'll reach 50 plus current games with 1-3 day TO's. No wonder I'm playing like crap and losing rating, I've got myself in some kind of a mess, lol, I am going to become the next DustnRodgers at this rate!

Dustn still played well even if he had 800 games on the go. His rating only went down when something happened in his life and he couldn't spend hours a day on RHP. Plus, he didn't whine constantly in the forums.

For all those games, Dustin did real well. I have around 50 right now and my game has gone down hill rapidly. I wonder what the optimum number would be. I was comfortable around twenty.

Originally posted by mateulose50?? lol and you compare yourself to dustn hahahahhaa. I always try to keep 100 going at a time at the least otherwise I get bored with no moves to make. I have about 100 right now and I will pick up another 92 when the two Xmas Grand tournaments start and if Russ would be nice enough to make a third one I'll be tacking on another 46 games to that. While it does cause me to blunder sometimes it's never anything big enough to lose the game and I can usually come back and draw at worse but that rarely happens. I do get headaches once in awhile looking at and analysing so many boards, but my opponents making mistakes between moves 5-10 usually helps me out alot if not then they also come between moves 10-15. Don't think I've ever played my best possible game and only win when my opponent makes some type of positional mistake.

Trackhead, why have you signed up for both Xmas tournaments? Is one seat just not enough to occupy!? Entering not only a 1200-1400 rated tournament, but now taking two seats in somewhat the same tournament is not a very nice thing to do. There was a reason why tournament II was started, and that reason was probably not to serve you...!

Let's face it, it doesn't matter how many game YOU play since all you need to do is switch on your Fritz ...
Hey how about a few hundred games against James Woodly ??
