You mean the paid members on the games page have between 750-950 current games each! That does seem strange | - |

| Looking at your challenges again (mine are slightly different), there is something odd with the names as well. Apart from a Chess doctor and father they all have numbers after them. | - |

| Yes, the 800 plus current games, and having only been members since the end of September, and being a bit similar in profile. | - |

| lol ... chessfather 1967 must get bored very easily ... he has a full 34 pages of active games ... a lot on 0 or 0.5 moves, but a fair scattering of more advanced games ... extraordinary | - |

Andre67 has gone into orbit with 1017 active games | - |

| strange you mention orbit, extopian ... i was thinking chessdad reminds me of a pulsar, if he doesn\'t mind my saying ... definitely there are some strange, wonderful phenomena in our universe, all of which obviously must have a sensible explanation, although you would never have dreamed they exist | - |

| ChessDoctor and ChessFather both joined on the same day less than 2 weeks ago and between them have nearly 5000 moves. Impressive! | - |

| This is getting ridiculous. I`ve only got one player to challenge on the `join a chess game` page apart from the four `black holes`. There used to be 20 plus different games. Are they being sucked in automatically? Its so obvious somethings wrong, that the mods must be aware of it. | - |

| Well, Chessdoc has played and lost 11 times to my new opponent, so maybe they are just very enthusiastic. | - |

None of them are playing each other. Which means..........  | - |

| I am retired so I do not find it strange to be able to make many moves each day.
I will say this, no human can be playing 1000 active games. In fact, if admin were here I would tell them that they should not allow any member paid or otherwise, to join that many games.
It just adds to ridiculousness of this site.
If only Admin the Robot had emotions and \"cared\". | - |

For a robot, caring is a weakness...like a conscience. | - |

| Not only on this site, on other sites too some players play hundreds of games and they manage it. Some play fairly well inspite of that much load !! But if they start and leave after 1 move that\'s bad. | - |

| Well, one of the mods here admitted in another thread to signing up for so many games that he had to forfeit all of them and drop in rating to 733. If mods on this site can exhibit this behavior, why are we hassling others who do the same? | - |
|
| 21 FrippezMonTchu | 2009-11-07 14:09:18 |
I don\'t see the point of playing hundreds of games.  | - |

...at once, of course | - |
