Re: the longest no-losing streak.
I think I could live with getting battered by super grand masters if I was getting paid the big appearence fees they get.
Best unbeaten streak I had was from 2004-2006 in the coventry league - getting 24.

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
My longest unbeaten run in the Southend and District Chess League is 36 - that does include playing some decent players. Lost it at the end of last season when I hung a piece. Details are available at Howard Grist's excellent site.

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
Yes, but most of those were division 2 games. I think my longest unbeaten run in division 1 is only about 5 or 6.Joey Stewart wrote:I think I could live with getting battered by super grand masters if I was getting paid the big appearence fees they get.

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
I'm currently on my longest unbeaten streak in the Birmingham League: 9 games if you include 2 at the end of last season. I even have the results because I'm a bit odd like that:
Derek Green W (SC)
Jason Cole W (R)
Matthew Eaton D (WQ)
Andrew Wiggins D (R)
Philomena Lip W (SB)
Ken Warren W (SL)
Chris Evans W (MC)
Karol Grzywaczewski W (O)
Alan Woollaston W (MC)
6/7 this season, and 5 wins a row. I've greatly benefited from adjournments though, two of these wins came when opponent's either couldn't be bothered to turn up, or forgot to tell me they weren't turning up. It's bound to come to an end (probably in a league game where the result is crucial...), but I'm doing well at the moment!
This would probably be worth shouting about if it weren't in Division Four.

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
I had embarked on a drawing run but it's now been converted to a games without a win run

Next month I will be starting a 9-game winless streak on the bottom boards of the Hastings Masters.

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
You think it's odd that a chess player knows the results of the games they've played recently? Have you never met any of those players that have detailed records going back years and years of all the games they've ever played, and the precise state of their grade at this moment in time, and a detailed database of all their opening variations? Oh, those players are called grandmasters!Alex Holowczak wrote:I even have the results because I'm a bit odd like that

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
I believe that GM Nick Pert is currently 50 something unbeaten,unless there is some recent loss that I am unaware of

Re: the longest no-losing streak.
Keith is correct in a way
Nick is currently on an unbeaten run of 52 FIDE games, though he doesn't say anything about non-FIDE games
Unfortunately, I lost my first ECF graded of this season game last week (against AA Smith), after a run of 15 undefeated (+11 =4) against an average grade of 183, just now have to start again
