It depends on what else is going on in my life. If I'm busy or frazzled, I don't play more than ten at a time. When I foolishly sign up for tournaments I end up with many games at once.

I usually play as many as 45 games at a time. When that starts to get a little crazy I bring the count down into the low 20's. I'm now playing an opponent who is playing 850 games. How he does it, without losing his sanity, is mystery to me.

I am down to around 300 games, from my little over 600 games! 😉

Now I even have time to banter in the forums a little. 🙂

But that is nothing...Heng has had over 1200 games going at once!!
I have no idea how he managed them all.

Usually ten to fifteen or so, in answer to your question, but in an another sense only one at a time. After the early opening moves, with

few exceptions, the games all take turns getting set up (with my weighted/worn Staunton pieces and old beige & green vinyl board) on

the dining room table. Enjoy moving them around. Eyes still getting used to a 2-dimensional laptop screen. OTB is all I've ever known.

That post makes me think perhaps I should set up a board or two and play some games on them for practice. Been a long, long time, since I played OTB.

Perhaps I should play the game I just started with korch as one of them. Might help slow down my moving, and look a little deeper into the lines.

I play about 2 dozen games at a time and I keep a written scoresheet for each one. My moves are made in ink and variations I've worked out are made in pencil. For about half of these games, I find this a necessity but for the other half the moves by and large play themselves and require little thought.

I play between 100-300 games at a time. I've been trying to cut down and am below 100 at the moment! 🙂

Sounds like a good plan, Rusty. Let us know how it works out for you.

RHP game screen 'flip board' feature also seems somewhat helpful.

+- 160. But that is with seventy pretty skulls from my collection.

Only two, one is called chess, the other is called "God-fearing atheists don't believe in oxymorons" 🙂

Read previous post's on Heng....he does it by taking his time bank to the limit.......see a Tournament with his name and think twice on entering it...........

I generally play 50 games maximum but have played 70.I tend to find that if I am playing too many games at once,chess becomes a chore and the standard of my play drops drastically.I also counter this by choosing the highest timelimit,thus eliminating the need to move everyday.Although when the mood is upon me I can play constantly during the day,(time permitting,that is).
