Is there any point to this exercise, or is it just another ploy to let the usual suspects jab at each other?

An interesting stat to work out is your ratio of posting to moving.
Take the number of posts you've made (as defined above) and divide by the number of moves you've made on the site (you can also do the inverse).

I make on average 0.2 posts per chess move.
Or looked at another way 5 moves per post.

There are not many posters that I've found that post more than they move: i.e. have a score of posts to moves above 1 (they're kind of obvious though, and shouldn't surprise).



If you've got both a high number of posts per day and a high ratio of posts per move .... well .. get a life. And stop clogging up the forums <insert smiley failed>

I have posted 1.6 times for every chess move.

56.2 moves/post for me.

A lot of people feel secure when being able to put numbers on things 🙂 .

0.0201539898 posts per move...
at first blush, that appears minuscule, but, i know it cannot be a record...

My apology, Andy, for misreading this promising thread's purpose.
