(The subject of move match-up rates came up in another thread, and it caught my interest.)
I just ran my match-up rates, and I'm shocked. My 1st choice m/u is 50%, and my top 3 m/u is 85%. I expected it to be much lower. (My USCF rating is in the 1200s, for God's sake.)
I haven't played any RHP games in a while, and I only have 26 total.
I excluded the opening phase of the games where I knew I was still in theory. (Sadly, usually only 4 or 5 moves deep at most. I think I may have played 1 or 2 games where I actually consulted opening books.) I did run the m/u rates to the end of all games.
To all you guys that follow these things - Do these numbers sound about right for someone with an RHP rating of about 1680 that takes a lot of time on his moves? Or will I now be labeled a scummy cheater? (For the record, I have never cheated in chess, either here or elsewhere. Scout's honor!)
