The only site that I know of that keeps track of the amount of moves you make is Red Hot Pawn. It is kind of nice feature actually not that the amount of moves makes all that much difference to your playing strength necessarily. I have made 8811 moves there at the moment I type this. That is only a small fraction of the moves that my opponent has done. He is one of the two very esteemed move makers at Red Hot Pawn as he and only one other player have made over one million moves on the site!! My first game against this same opponent was over ten years ago and I have at the moment a couple of games against him. The game below was played in the 2014 Grand Seven Fourteen III tournament. The tournament is played in one group of 21 players and it is a all versus all times two, so when you start the tournament you have 40 games in progress in this tournament alone. I can only fight for the third place in the tournament anymore as I have lost too many points. Well, I have theoretical chances for the second place but that would mean that I would need to win all my remaining games and the player currently second can't earn more points from the remaining games. I have added one mate in two, three mate in four and one mate in six puzzle today.
