Can more if not all previously played games be incorporated into a graph?
imaging the likes of 'helden' (busiest player on this site), his graph would probably contain thousands of games and be at least twice the width of the screen.
add this to the additional pressure put on the server in order to display the extra information (multiplied by the thousands of active users) and the idea is just not practicle.
I agree with the previous statement, just not practical.
Also players that are still learning and are progressing well might not want to constantly be reminded of their poor skills more than 300 games ago. 300 games is an awful lot and I don't see a reason why it would require more to have an idea of your/someone else's potential.

All of your games are saved by the site unless you delete them. I have individual folders for won, lost and drawn games. I just can't understand what a graph of more than 300 games could really serve, but if enough people would vote for it I don't see a problem with it.
Has anyone thought about being able to switch to a trend line graph possibly with the slope information available at each game, if one were so inclined?
Originally posted by hollowExcellent idea.
I wonder if (and apologies if this is previously mentioned or discussed) games played as black and games played as white could be slightly different shades? Would be interesting to see a players history and trends with this information incorporated.
