This is for one month.  Very interesting info.

66 million games reviewed bloody hell!

I wondered what percentage of total games played that was and checked the "games today" number for 7 random dates and came up with 3.1 million each time. 

If that is correct, and assuming a 30 day month, they would be reviewing more than two thirds of all the games played.

That seems very unlikely, at least assuming the definition of "reviewed for Fair Play" is more than cursory.

Hmm. I agree reviewing so many games is unlikely (unless, as you say, it's cursory) but what does it being 2/3rds of the total have to do with it?

It's an interesting statistic, and I'm glad you shared it, but I'm just curious if that was part of your reasoning.

I'm just happy to see chess.com reveal more about the site and I hope to make more people aware of news posts like the one linked above- which are relatively infrequent here.

I agree. I'm glad for some transparency.
