Title: Quantity Participation
Post by Fritzlein on Dec 26th, 2006, 11:53pm
I was inspired by syed's quantity participation to see where he stands on the list of most games played all time.  He's about to take over the #2 spot, and at the rate he is going, will soon become the most active player of all time.  Here is a list of all humans with more than 500 games played:

1776      Arimanator
1194      naveed
1123      syed
1091      PMertens
993      Fritzlein
926      Belbo
798      omar
787      blue22
734      Ryan_Cable
727      Adanac
670      DorianGaray
668      seanick
545      haizhi
544      Chegorimaa
539      99of9

I can't give this stat without wanting to give a similar list for rated human vs. human games too, since the latter kind of game does the most to advance the state of the art.  Here are all humans with at least 100 rated games against other humans:

361      PMertens
345      Fritzlein
293      robinson
235      chessandgo
232      naveed
221      99of9
200      seanick
190      jdb
169      Adanac
154      Ryan_Cable
132      omar
127      Belbo
109      arimaa_master
106      Swynndla
104      OLTI

I have almost caught up to PMertens for the top spot, but chessandgo is moving up so fast I may not hold the top spot long even if I take it.

Only robinson, chessandgo, and jdb have played more games that were rated hvh than they have played games that weren't.  It's hard to believe that chessandgo has played less than 500 total games, isn't it?
