Ridiculous Number of Consecutive Games between madashuai and high55


I have never seen such a blitz series such as this! These two players, seemingly from China (the series would have taken place from late morning throughout most of the afternoon to early evening there) played a grand total of 71 games (37-34 in favor of madashuai)! They were on the 72nd game when a disconnection seemed to interrupt them and madashuai has not logged back in. It boggles the mind to see how they could have such stamina, of course, the quality of the games were relatively poor, even for blitz.

A little bit about the players, madashuai seems to be a relatively new player on KGS and seems to be in the upper 6d range. His username is the Chinese pinyin equivalent of Marshall Ma. high55 is a well known 6d blitz player on KGS who plays double 6-4 as Black exclusively. They had played a few games before, the overall record being 38-35-1 unfinished in favor of madashuai.

The shocking thing about high55 is that judging by his game records he has only taken 3 breaks since starting a streak of games on the morning of June 15. The breaks were only 1 hour, 6 hours, and 3 hours long respectively. If you think about it, he has played for more than 30 hours of Go in the last few days! This has to be a record for the most games played by a player!

This is the last complete game between the two players. The quality isn't too high, but I thought it was interesting to see someone play so many games.

Eh? Wasn't it said that High55 is actually an American player who is Chinese? Or I might be getting my KGS high dan lore mixed up. It's hard to tell what's real and what's not online. Both seem to be stronger than 6d to me.
