So for first 5 turns it should be close to 6 bonuses, while on average it's below 4 (3.93, this mean on average not even 2 bonuses per player).

With early contact it's often hard to go for 3 bonuses in 4-5 turns

Another request: track the income at each turn for each player in a game and find the mean income and standard deviation at each turn. This would probably take a while but I would love to see that data.

Which games did you sample? are they yours?

read carefully, professor ;)

The data comes from about 4,000 games in the last 18 months between players who were in the top 100 at the time I ran it

My next one will have income by turn, income difference by turn, win percentage by income difference per turn, and will include game duration.

Thanks a ton, smileyleg!

Very nice data collection indeed. I'm assuming that these data are for ladder games only, and not including auto games?

I'm most surprised by the fact that the T6+ percentage for Alaska and Japan are 100%, surely out of all those hundreds of thousands of games someone has taken them before turn 6? Evidently not. I'm tempted to set WL history :P

Missed that, thanks.
