Do you like playing against someone who has 660 games going at the same time?
to a reasonable level.
I notice atri who had over 1,000 games on the go now has
a grade of 703 and is now ranked 19131 on the site.
He has had a few typical disasters.
Here he is as white v philran. White to play.
Atri did not get round to this game in time although has mate in
one move - he timed out.
And just a quick flick through his games will reveal some very bad blunders.
Here he is as White v Nowakowski.
White should not get mated on f2 in 13 moves in the French Defence.

Yeah. On the one hand, I kinda don't care how people manage their own games. OTOH, I don't feel like I'm getting the attention I want. OTOH, I make pretty stupid blunders with even 15 games going at the same time, so who am I to complain?????

Originally posted by patzer2007No. Main reason is that the opponent will probably take almost all available time for each move, so almost the complete time-out period. And I don't like that. People with 'normal' game loads sometimes play fast and sometimes slow, but not slow all the time.

I feel the comment coming, "well just play games with a shorter timeout period", but that causes other problems (like me losing a lot of games on time).
So they are totally entitled to do so, but if possible, I will avoid them.
