At last count mine is … 31.9 ...
I wonder if this is close to the average game length?
I suppose you should have at leas 100 games played
before it is a valid statistic.
I have resigned about 12 of my games recently without even making a move due to time issues, so exluding those, I'm at 30.1.

You have to do your own math
for you... at last count
13761/431=31.928
Using your figures, 13761-400 = 13361, /431 = 31, not nearly 32.
Obviously the more moves you have made in uncompleted games the more this will effect your result

many moves you make per game, but it should be pretty close.
The number of games ongoing does not count in your games
played total where your total moves do and there is no way of easily
calculating the number of moves you have made in those ongoing
games. The resulting bias is one where higher moves per games
are yielded. If everyone uses the same crude method, incorporating
the same bias, you will have an approximation of how many moves
per game a given player makes per game. Yes?
