I just cannot comprehend how this cannot end with loads of timeouts!
What the highest number of games you've had at once, or have seen an opponent has running?
I'm not a subscriber, and this is part of the reason. I am allowed to have six games at once, but usually only have three or four. That's enough for me.
Once, I entered a non-sub tournament Russ set up to lure us non-subs into the fold, and all of a sudden I had nine or ten games or so going on at once - three tournament opponents times two games each, plus the couple I had going before I entered. I was swamped, that was just too many games for me to keep apart. I lost ignominously in the first round. At least the tournament taught me that I
don't need a subscription... 😕
Mind you, I can see why some people
do like to have more games going at a time. If you don't get them confused, sure, why not. But hundreds? I'm sure those players' ratings suffer, and not just their ratings, but their game in general.
