Do one of these files show how long it took for a game to complete ? Or do you need to keep track of all your downloads?
IIRC one of the files has the list of all games and dates of start and end for each of them.
For those of you who like multiples of 13 and square numbers, there are now only 169 active games remaining in round 2!
20 days later (data as of 2/27/2026 provided by Purble):
- 163 games in progress, 191 players involved, 48 groups
- 18 completed games
- 17 players completed all their games, 1 of them with 9 wins
- 3 groups completed all their games
- 1 disqualified player
Still involved in one of the remaining games. Hope it will not still be there in the 10 last ones.
Now playing rather “fast” but my opponent keeps playing like twice a month. Move 204, the endgame drags on, I should win by 20 points unless I miss something … and hopefully will live on to the end.
17 days later (data as of 3/16/2026 provided by Purble):

Well you should complete your game in under two years , and with plenty of games with fewer than 100 moves still, I think you are unlikely to have one of the last 10 games. Considering the little two bubble on the game performance chart for players with only 2 completed represents 14 of the remaining games , and none of those games are over 200 moves yet. And there are still multiple games with fewer than 100 moves so far.
For those of you who like multiples of 10, we are down to 150 active games…
for the remaining active games:
games with fewest moves 66
median game. 141.5
games with most moves 240

9 games completed in 28 days isn’t a great speed, considering we were completing ~1 game per day only 2 months ago
My last opponent has exhausted his holidays stock. So maybe he will move before the end of the month. He has still 3 ongoing games.
19 days later (data as of 5/18/2026 provided by Purble):
- 132 games in progress, 164 players involved, 42 groups
- 7 completed games
- 6 players completed all their games, 1 of them with 9 wins
- 1 group completed all its games
Still 3 games with the same player in my group, he had win 6 games so far but I’m afraid he’s about to lose by timeout. That is really too bad, but what can we do?
I’m not playing the tournament, but have checked in on the thread here and there. How is the friendship building part of it going, for those of you who are participating?
From my experience, not very impressive. Delay between moves is not used to engage more conversation. But maybe others have better experience.
I think I feel closer to those posting in this forum than any particular player I have been paired with.

Same here - not really much conversation at all, but that’s okay.
