Korean Baduk maniacs


When I stayed in Korea, I saw lot of baduk players, who played baduk all day long. We also have such players on Baduk servers.
2 examples:

engpkjin on WBaduk
3-dan
40998 W- 41059 L 
More than 80 thousand games played online!

MS63
10-kyu
31953 W-30636 L
Last time I saw him online yesterday at 5 AM Korean time (Moscow evening)

I was curious, do we have such maniacs in USA and Europe and I asked William Shubert, KGS owner to share statistic.
Here is the list of players with maximum games played on KGS, but as you can see all top nicknames here are bots

I've played about 1300 games in nearly 4 years. And most of those in my first year.

Funny how the humans in this list cannot get better than 4k. I guess they really dont want to improve

The less games I play between study, the quicker I improve.

Well i'm Sven84 but i had to recreate the account in 2009 after a long pause from go.

Only 618 W and 556 L (1174 Games)

Not that much really :D

I once asked somebody how it was possible for these players to have played dozens of thousands of games and still be stuck at 10k. He offered an interesting possibility -- many Go salons in Japan, Korea, and China will have a couple of common computers hooked up to an account on a Go server that patrons can use at any time. Thus, it can be kept occupied playing games all the time, and the average strength will stay constant.

That seems to be a likely explanation for some of these.
