eXtreme Gammon Feeds My Ego

A rule of thumb that I have heard is that you can take your Snowie rating and multiply it by 1.1 to get your approximate XG rating.

You say that your online ER has been consistently 6.1 as measured by Snowie, and now XG measures your online PR as 6.1. According to the above rule of thumb, an XG PR of 6.1 is slightly better than a Snowie ER of 6.1. However, before getting too excited, let me ask this question: If you take those very same 100 games that you analyzed with XG and analyze them with Snowie, does Snowie still say 6.1? Or does it say something closer to 5.5?

If you feed exactly the same set of games to XG and to Snowie and consistently find that PR = ER, contrary to the rule of thumb, then that would suggest to me that there is indeed something about your style of play that is unusual.

By the way, you should of course ignore any verbal descriptions that the bots apply to your play since they're just for fun.
