If you select garbage games, then don't expect good answers.
Idiot.

At least this guy is trying to get the last two numbers...
... a bonus that makes absolutely no sense
(I'm honestly surprised the OP is rated as high as he is... and I don't mean 1600, because he's certainly below that. I mean I'm surprised he's over 1000)
Not really. It's just as likely to be (in a random generator I mean,) for it to end in two series then, let's say, something random. 37 is apparently the most random number. So it doesn't make sense.

I see what you mean, that's true.
But when someone guesses a round number with a lot of zeros like 1600 they obviously mean 1600-1699... and because there's no discernable difference between 1620 and 1630 this sort of guess makes sense... meanwhile the OP's scoring system doesn't... which I can't blame him for if he's a low rated idiot attempting to make an interesting topic

"Low rated idiot attempting to make an interesting topic"
Unfortunately, chess ratings don't dictate intelligence.
Your chess rating only impresses other chess players. A surgeon with a 900 rating isn't uncommon in the slightest.

I'd say a surgeon with a rating of 100 isn't uncommon either.
Most people, including the great majority of people in competitive professions, can't play chess worth s**t.
But I'm drunk and feeling abusive.

I think everyone overestimates 2k players. I think it's a nice experiment to show how unimpressive they can be.

The OP chose poor games. They weren't representative of their rating level.
Maybe he's so young that he thinks that's clever... maybe he's too low rated to really know the difference.
Probably a little of both.
