Good job tag1153!
I have even more than 15,000 games played since 2004,but they are combined over 4 different chess sites and then thousands of OTB games.This does not even include blitz and postal games.I can well imagine I have played atleast a half million blitz games since 2004!But,that does not count,I suppose.I'll never have 15,000 games played on GK however,even if I was here for 25 years!

Tag,your rating graph looks like jagged lightning bolts going up and down!I never seen such a
graph with plus and minus's!Looks like defibrillator being placed on the chest of a victim of a heart attack!(Pun!).But then,I haven't been looking at the graphs at class C and below lately,so perhaps there are many similar graphs.

Is it possible that if you played LESS games,that your graph may even out a bit?You know the old story of less games,deeper concentration,more time spent on each individual game and more wins?Take a look at the line on my graph!

Best,and congrats again!

Oh,I just added up my online games.Its 19,567 with no time-outs!But and I say BUT that covers a time period since the early 1990's!Covering about 23 years.And many of those games were not actually on chess game sites,but simply emailing moves back and forth to one another,like postal,but online instead.Yes,even email games that were not on official game sites were timed but not with official clocks like GK has.On GK,I tend to have never more than 10 games going on at one time,but seek out players that have huge amts of games going on at one time.Wonder why?Hmmmmm......!

6 years with no timeouts!
Hi everyone!

Not played as many games as you tag, only 600 odd rated games - although you can double it by the unrated games I have played.

Here are my stats:-

The only way I am likely to time out is if (God forbid) I suffer a bad accident that will hospitalise me!

Kind regards

congratulations.
You do not need a life tag.. completing 15,000 games is a life in itself. Maybe you'll reach 100,000 one day?
