Does anyone know who holds the longest winning streak?
I know that sorceress_queen has 241 games up in a row but can anyone better that?

Meaningless

Message:
I would have phrased the question in an another way: "Who has spent the most time on the most meaningless statistic on GK"?
Superman123 should have maybe added that this 308 consecutive wins were obtained playing only white against players preferrably not over 1200. What for? Hardly something to mention or to be proud of.

don't despair. This topic has been brought up many times before in this forum—on at least two
occasions by superman himself. As you can see, it's kind of a hollow stat.

sorceress_queen's record is impressive, though.

Just my opinion.......

Message:
A draw mixed in breaks the "consecutive" statistic. To answer your question though, I think Cyrano holds the record with 300 plus. The run was finally broken by Lexherman in a beautifull and creative battle of the titans.

I'm more interested in who playes the toughest people here. Who has the highest 'average opponent' rating?

Chess news:

For Many People, Holidays Are a Time for Playing -- The period around the new year has become one of the busiest times for chess players. Holiday chess tournaments have a long tradition. One of the oldest, the Hastings International Chess Congress in England, has been held every year since 1920-21, with a break during World War II. This year’s tournament began on Dec. 28 and ends Jan. 5. After six rounds, Andrei Istratescu of Romania, Yuri Drozdovskij of Ukraine and Zbynek Hracek of Czech Republic were leading the top section with 5 points, and being chased by a group of eight chess players, including three grandmasters, three international masters and two masters who each had 4.5 points. Hastings is no longer ...

All that chess -- Magnus Carlsen, 19, walks into the new decade as the world's top-rated chess player. His January FIDE rating is 2810, five points ahead of Veselin Topalov and 20 points ahead of the world chess champion, Vishy Anand. An incredible accomplishment! In 2004, Carlsen played a brilliant game in Holland. His victory made a great impression and I called him the Mozart of chess. He was 13 at that time and, according to my good friend, the late Washington Post music critic Joseph McLellan, he was too old to be compared to the great music composer. But it was too late. The name stuck. From club players to grandmasters, from recreational enthusiasts to world champions -- a great spectrum of chess players ...

A Year With No New Champs but Plenty of Big Winners -- Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Alexandra Kosteniuk of Russia, the women’s titleholder, were able to rest on their laurels in 2009. That was because for the first time in six years there was no world championship match or tournament. That did not mean there were fewer big matches. In some ways there were more than ever. In addition to the traditional elite chess tournaments in Linares, Spain; Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands; and Moscow, upstart events in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Nanjing, China, thrived, and a chess tournament had its debut in London. And Russia played host to the World Chess Cup. Buoyed by victories in Nanjing and London, Magnus Carlsen, ...
