Your longest win streak

Whats the longest streak of wins you ever got. I think mine was 7

Here:

Winning streak: 12 games

Losing streak: 4 games

OTB:

I won a weekend tournament with 5/5 many years ago but as I've grown older (and the opposition has got much tougher) I've drawn too many games to go on a proper win streak. I prefer to count "unbeaten" series these days. My best one recently was 8 rounds unbeaten in a rapid play event, open section. Of course, I lost in the 9th round, for the money. Typical.

The weird part of the 8 round unbeaten rapid play event was that I scored 2.5/3 against masters (won against 2250, won against 2260, drew with 2350 {8th round and the eventual winner}) but in the 9th round I had to play an unrated player who was helping out in the bar between rounds and lost! I never blundered, I played well and he played better. I had White, played the King's Gambit which he accepted. He held onto the pawn and ground out a minor piece ending over about 70 moves. On the way back in the car I said to my club-mates (both stronger players than I, 2200 and 2250): "Balls! lost to an unrated in the last round for the money!". They just laughed and said "You're in good company, he beat both of us as well!".

I don't remember my longest losing streak (I've had some long ones), but I believe my longest winning streak is around 10 games, all played against a friend who isn't quite where I am.

As far as human opponents go, I'm on a winning streak of 15 right now with 2 games to close off, 1 is a cert victory and in the other I'm a piece up.  Woohoo!  Not sure what my best all time streak is. 

I don't think I've ever lost more than 3 in a row. 

Well I guess it comes down to who you're playing and how often.  I'm a CC type of guy.  I only have one OTB opponent and don't play in clubs.  I've gotten quite good at Chess over 18 years playing it but I'm not too specific about who I play, I just post a game on a first come first served basis.  Also, I don't play half as much as some of you guys.

My longest win streak in otb tournament play is a 7-0 result in a tourney I won here in Lisbon. After more than 30 years of tourney chess I have had very few "perfect scores" and thats my only one here in Portugal. In the US I had a couple of 5-0 events over the years but NOT since breaking 1800 and being thrown to the wolves ( Open section ).

My longest otb losing streak is 6 games in a closed round robin event here in which I lost 7 and won 2 !!  I was second ranked from the bottom in this event which was a chance for players to make IM norms.... only one player got an IM norm in this event that wasnt already an IM. It was a nightmare experience for me. I actually made $200. as I was paid to play this event. 

Not bad Reb for your winning streak here

Thanks, but I did it in a rather unethical way to prove a point to erik/chess.com and after I did this they fixed it so the higher rated ( over a certain amount ) cannot gain even 1 rating point for a win. During that streak I dont think I played anyone over 1400 or so.......

 They were enough lower rated that I was only getting 1 point per win but I got 140 points like that.

Sub 1400 CC players against an NM? Quick and brutal more like it.

ummm my win streack is like 5 all my clasmates in chess clup in school ( check mated the same person twice the same way)

 lose streack ummm i cant reber it it was like 20
