1950 GAMES! Our Icarus is truly flying close to the sun now, and one can almost see the wax holding his wings together beginning to melt. How long before he falls to Earth? Only atri and the admins can know. His rating curve screams defiance at the gods. atri is truly a river to his people.

wow i wonder how it feels to look into your inbox and see 1900 games waiting. a bit shocking i bet

not to mention trying to keep focused on them too.

i know: i have 81 games going - much less than 5% of atri's total, and i find it daunting to play enough moves. actually, i only have 81 games because i signed up for a lot of tournaments in the hope of being matched with atri and vicariously sharing in his glory, but alas! i still only have two games with him. lacking his fierce resolve and vaulting ambition, i dare not sign up for more tournaments.

I have over 700 games going and only becasue they are slower time control can I manage them. It doesn't mean i don't blunder a few times due to playing to fast

Just realized 2 of my 33 games are with him.

He has had at least two weeks of vacation so far, possibly more. It must be getting near crunch time, and I dont think he will like his taste of the crunch.

I have to admit, i'm slightly concerned. As others have pointed out, skull day must be very close now, and our man hasn't yet reached the magical 2000 mark, though he is tantalisingly close. I hope that if he starts getting skulled before he reaches 2000 he won't lose heart and stop entering tournaments. Then again, something tells me that is unlikely to be a problem.

EDIT: What am i worrying about? Our hero has already signed up for May Hardcore III. His skull may be crushed, but not his spirit.

Hes going in a circle. He tries to keep up with the games that are going to be timed out while his newer games lose all their time. Double whammy coming.

User 337724 has 1986 now - I wonder if he knows we're all urging him onward to that magic finishing line?

Yep hes over 2000 games and he still signed up for more tounrments coming up

People used to complain about heng and indosmart, they weren't half as bad as this guy. You get him in a tournament, it's just your bad luck. Or maybe it's your good luck, he won't have much time to think about his moves ...
