Perhaps it's time to impose a limit but what limit would you impose?
I can't see the point as you say.
Why don't you ask him when you move in one of the games?

This site is a correspondence chess site.
Personally, I start making big mistakes when playing more than about ten games. I suspect others do as well. For instance, I've beaten 2000+-ranked players here simply because they were also playing 1200 other games at the same time. Because of this, they take the maximum amount of time possible to make their moves. I usually don't complain, since I agreed to the time terms, but all of this does take some of the fun out of it all.
BTW, I'm sure that you are better than the 900-ish rating that you currently have. Could it be that you cannot handle your current game load? Why ask for even more?
Cheers!

I made the mistake of doing a lot of hardcore chess tournaments. I can handle all my 3+ day matches.

Bing's too commercial, I only get stuff from adverts most of the time so I don't go there any more. There are plenty of good ones around if you don't use google.
I've been matched up with the same player a couple of times. They do move, but use pretty much all their time each time, running the timebank down to minimum. I got about 6 moves in then they timed out.
I also don't understand how people can play so many games at once. I've got too many and I'm only at about 25.
Originally posted by koopsThe sad point is that there are players on here, who get more pleasure from the amount of moves they make compared to actually playing and winning a chess game. You only have to look at page 1 of the most active chess player to see that. Certain players knocking out 15,000+ moves every single month. My advice to them is enjoy chess, but do other things in life as well. Sorry if that upset,s anybdy on page one.
