Total playing time?

As the servers must know all individual players, can’t we have a total playing time display for everyone? In hours, minutes and seconds? From the moment you create an account? Just to know how much time we spent here… :wink:

But it’s simple: the answer is too much.

Not actual time spent playing, but still, if you have not seen the site yet, type in your nickname for some interesting statistics :slight_smile:(link no longer works)

Wow, thats really cool! Only thing missing is… total playing time!

yeah that would be interesting :), although hard to predict from correspondence games I guess…

Well you can always try messaging the author :slight_smile:

:smiley:

Total time spent on this domain (incl. chat channels, forum, watching games) would also be nice :sunglasses:

Thanks for the link. I found some interesting stats here, especially the fact that my chances to win are higher playing White (56%) than playing Black (34%). I think that this could be explained by the fact that it’s only in the last few months that I learned to play some more offensive openings like first move played at tengen or hoshi points. Note that, up to now, I have mostly played 9*9 games with 5.5 komi.

I am not sure I am correctly understanding what is “even games” category. Are they the games played against players having the same rank than you at the time of playing?

Furthermore, I wonder why the ranking given in these stats is not the actual ranking?

Damn, where did the rest 10% go? :smiley: is there some third color?

I can only assume they are games with no handicap and similar rating. But it is not my site so I do not know for sure :slight_smile:

Again, no idea, sorry. Maybe they are still linked to the old ratings?

Yes, the third color is grey of course! :wink:

Sorry, I should have summarize the stats in this more comprehensible way :

  • Playing White : 56% wins, 44 % losses
  • Playing Black : 34% wins, 66 % losses

First off, that site is awesome!! Thank you for the link, Adam :3

@setra: “I found some interesting stats here, especially the fact that my chances to win are higher playing White (56%) than playing Black (34%).”

Similar here: 42 % wins as black, 61 % wins as white. In my case, I think it’s because I always have my colour assigned automatically, which means that the site assigns you black if your opponent is stronger and white if they are weaker. It makes sense that I would have a higher win percentage against weaker opponents. Might be a similar reason for you?

Absolutely, you’re right, that really makes sense!

I was wondering too, but I don’t think it quite matches my win % vs weaker opponents, and I wasn’t sure we were still doing that… My win % vs weaker opponents is 81% and my win % vs stronger opponents is 21%, which is vastly different from my white/black win ratio. (36% as black and 60% as white) and I do use automatching, so I don’t think this is the explanation.

Probably just means you win some of your games as black and you lose some of your games as white…

Hmm, interesting… Wonder what’s going on then.

Yup, I do agree with your suggestion!!
