A funny thing, if you look at my online chess page the W/L/D percents only add up to 99, now I am sure there are some decimal, but just an odd thing I noticed.

perhaps significant figures? lol. Yea, I have a decimal point, but most likely is still rounded.

Yea that's what I thought, significant figures was the first thing through my mind, still though I just thought it was peculiar.
