Subject: Resigned games

Should a resigned game really counts as a finished game?

Andersp: If a resigned game didn't count... then I would simply resign any that I am bound to lose... :-)

It should count, and I doubt it will ever change.

rednaz23: Of course it shall count as a loss, but as you can see im linking to the statistics.  Some people like to be in top even in finished games  :)

Andersp: If you are talking about Snoopy, they are leaving the site for awhile and just letting their games time out. Even though that will add some finished games to their stats, he is not starting any new so people should be able to "pass" them soon enough

Andersp: Well with that, that will give them more loses then wins. I know myself, I'm always more impressed by people who have more wins then loses. I myself am shooting for a 66.6% win rate (win 2 out of every 3 games) - I'm currently at around 63% right now.

That is Statistics are just that - stats. Nothing to put too much stock into in my opinion.

coan.net: Well...as you know, people are different.  There are people who likes to be in top of finished games, i know :)


You remember probably how happy the player who hit one million moves first  was?

Andersp: the amount of snoopy's games is a left over from going for the top spot in 'moves per day'

its an insane race ... and this is the left over .. the number of finished games is just a side effect .. its an awkward list at all as someone who is here longer will have more games finished (on average)

i might feel sorry for the opponents though as they might want to play a nice game and now have a win by timeout

66% is a great target .. mine as well .. was there .. not anymore though i think

my 2 important lists from the statistics are win/loss ratio (66.6666% is the goal :)) and average bkr (2000 was the goal, now it is 1900 for more games :))

coan.net: I agree with you completely here... I am much more impressed by those who have a high winning percentage before someone who has 1,000 wins, but 3,000 loses... or even if they are even... :-)

BTW, BBW; 66% s good target, there are not very many that are able to maintain that, so good luck!
