In Response To: Avg number of games in an X point match? (Philippe Michel)

This is very useful information. Do you also have figures for 3-point matches?

From the bot vs bot figures, a simple proportional relationship is implied:

Average number of games = 65% of match length, and this is fairly consistent from 5-point match lengths and above.

From the FIBS data, the implied proportional relationship is:

Average number of games = 74% of match length.

I think there may be some dependence on the average PR of the two players, where typically an average PR of 4 gives a proportion of about 67%, and an average pr of 10 gives a proportion of 72% (I am guessing somewhat).
