Still about 25000 games to be created and I don't see big tournaments at the horizon...

I'm sticking to my original May 2 guess, but I suspect it'll be somewhere between us. Less than 23000 games to target.

I'll guarantee SOMETHING will - nobody ever thought this site would get to 10 million games when they were writing code back in 2000!

"Game 9,950,114 has been created." (As of 06 April 6, 2013)

* February 1, 2001, to April 6, 2013 = 12 Years and 65 Days (12 X 365 + 65 = 4,445 Days Since RHP's DOB)

* 9,950,114 Games Created as of April 6, 2013 / 4,445 = 2,238.5 / Average Games Per Day

* 49,886 (10,000,000 Games - 9,950,114) / 2,238.5 Games Per Day = 22.29 Days to Go

* April 6, 2013, + 22.29 = April 28.29 (or April 28 + 6.96 Hours) =
~7:00 AM (GMT-5) on Sunday Morning, April 28, 2013, \\10,000,000 Games// Will Have Been Started on Red Hot Pawn~

Footnote: If [Big 'If'] this Simplistic (Unadjusted for Seasonality, Leap Years, Recent Game Volume Trends)
Overall Twelve Year Averaging Still Applies [And Providing gb's Maths are Accurate. ~oo~ (lol)

a game is created if you can create it. So the minimum number of moves for it to count doesn't matter, there are a lot of game numbers out there without a game. If you delete a challenge the number stays, the information goes.

2nd was not too far off, there's 570 games to go (about 6 hours) and it's now early morning on May 3 (server time, of course, it's the only kind we can all see).
