I know that there are a lot of people who dont care, and frnakly you dont need to read this message.
But I have, today, broken the 1000 game barrier.
Thanks to all those playing me, I will be keeping to my timeframes, and trying to win one or two along the way.
Regards!
You are now within a hundred games of Zenic User 408178 who has 1101 on the go at this moment. I don't know if there is anyone else out there after him...

You're getting noticed now. Thread 115958
Over 1400 now, so nearing the target! 🙂

Originally posted by SurtismMy game load is light at this time so I'll take some of that action. Ten matches - you tell me your preferred board and time controls and I'll send them over.
Thank you.
I'm now up to 1334 games in progress, finding the 3 day movers a bit tough to keep up with, but the rest aren't problematic.
Any more challengers?

Originally posted by skeeterThank you so much, so as not to take too much of your time, would 7 day move and 7 day timebank be okay?

A split of 5 white and 5 black, perhaps (if your willing) trying different openings on each?
Many thanks

Originally posted by jayaitchI checked his page and you seem to be right. I am disappointed as I firmly endorse all useless activity which demonstrably enhances the quality of human life. If I thought playing chess was useful I wouldn't. I think the detractors were humourless clods and I also hate seeing them get to gloat. But I wonder - is there actually a record for Slinkies going downstairs? That point seems to have been neglected.
Reading Surtism's profile it looks as though he has given up on his valiant attempt to play 2,000 games without any timeouts. At least he had a go at something he wanted to do. Good luck in your other plans.
