That's bonkers. I'm finding it hard to keep track of 12 games
12 is ok, but 99 is - as you say bonkers. Unless you are a master at the game and can just look at a board and play almost instantaneously because you see variations so quick then allowing for a couple of minutes studying per move that would take hours of a evening. Better to play 30 minute games in my opinion if you have time and half a dozen 1 move per 24 or 48 hrs challenges.

...and my match was going soooo well

I entered a tournament just as we started the next round of the group. It’s meant I had 22 games on the go at once and it has done my head in. Thankfully I am getting through the tournie games quite quick (mostly losing) so hopefully I’ll be able to focus on our stuff soon. Apologies in the interim that I’m going a bit slower than normal as a result. I’ve learned my lesson!
It’s tempting, yes. When I was playing at my best 1450/1550 I still felt 6 games was about right. I resigned a whole lot of games recently because I wanted to get back on song ASAP - and couldn’t - but you have to bide your time and build back up slowly.

Exactly right. I need to do that now. Slow it down again and concentrate on fewer games. And also stop spending an entire evening playing chess!

I have absolutely no idea what I'm playing in. I just move against whomever.

Waking up in the middle of the night now, worrying if I’d blundered and blown it. What have you got me into?

Thought l'd bounce this thread to see if there is anyone interested in becoming a member of the Brighton and Hove Albion chess team. Just formed in February we now have 32 members of varying abilities and we are looking to playing against fellow supporters and in house tournaments as well as other matches against football teams and clubs around the world. If anyone is interested we'd love to welcome you on board!
I’m having the same in the Bournemouth match. Am going to contact Eddie Howe if he doesn’t move it.

The research I've done shows that teams play 3 days generally, but 2 for us seems to be working in the main.
Also, for people only using the app, you can't get into the club's inner sanctum and see what's going on, you need to do so via a browser, whether it's tablet or phone.
Jeez no, we'll probably get penalised for something

Woohoo. We are winners!! I wonder what that will do to our ranking as a team?
It's not showing us as having won yet. Perhaps all games have to finish before it counts as a win.
Looks like BH-Albion is about to lose his game so it's good to be sitting pretty
