The games after ranking update, no handicap, less than 100 deviation, should be not bots, games with opponents of the same rank. Technically would be nice to filter by time controls but it’s too hard.
For the percent of games finished with certain points we count out of total games including resignations.

Points to notice:
- As getting good increases the point difference on average decreases but not necessarily because the games are closer but probably because people know better when to resign.
- Timeout rate increases. Could be because more people play blitz or use more of their time.
- Disconnection rate decreases. Thus, if you have problems with disconnecting opponents → get good.
- Almost 10% disconnection rate for 19x19 25k category.
- 95 percentile scores are useful in terms of when to resign. Apparently even 1ds happily score 40-points losses.
My usual practice is to resign as soon as I decide that it’s a hopeless position (what a terrible uncultured 6 kyu Brit I am 
) But are you saying that this is considered poor form if endgame is already half done? 
If so, how close to the end is too close (roughly)? And is this limited to certain national cultures only (if so, which) or is it general across all cultures? Thanks for the observation
