Chess metrics - monitoring personal progress - Part 2

Here is another graph I generated based on my personal collection of games - this time it's my rating fluctuation on chessplanet server in the year 2007. And that's something that Chessbase or similar products I am aware of don't even support. It's interesting to see that the peak comes in May - the time when I was preparing for the Keres Memorial in Vancouver, so I put a bit extra time into studying chess - and I suppose that extra effort caused my blitz rating to go a bit up as well.

Back on ICC!!

After years of absence, I have returned to the fun and joyful waste of time by receiving yearly ICC membership as a long awaited Christmas gift. ChessPlanet has served as a great free alternative in the last couple of years, but I was looking for strong opposition (not that I could beat everyone on ChessPlanet, but still), less time waiting for a game, more responsive UI (where some crazy people can make 10 moves in one second), easier pgn export, and all in all - better online experience. Holidays can be a great time indeed!
