My blitz stats say over 12%

What does it mean?

1c6O-1

it means that percent of your blitz games have been drawn

sndeww

it means you play the exchange french as white

Or to break it down even further it means you don't win or lose 88% of the time.  If that percentage isn't high enough for you try losing more games.

llama47

I don't play either of those.

lies.

or maybe you just draw a lot. Or maybe you just haven't played enough games... idk. What do you mean by "what does high draw percentage mean?" are you asking us to find out your inner psych or something?

@B1ZMARK and @1c6o-1

You guys make jokes, but my draw % is more than twice as much as both of yours (you're at 5%).

You don't have a high percentage of draws.

Giri has a high percentage of draws (14 in a row at the 2016 Candidates?).

I always have a "win or die" mentality. Meaning I lose a lot of games instead of drawing them.

If you don't know, then you don't know, there's not much to say.

For example, maybe my blitz skills are rusty, but my bullet skills are good... I'm not saying this is true, I'm just saying this could be an explanation whereby I draw losing positions with premoves that are superior to my blitz peers.

I don't think that's the case, but it's better than "lol idk"

Apples to oranges, and even after that it's not the same time control.

Mines also 5%, although I imagine it would be much, much lower if it just took recent games into account. My play style doesn't allow for alot of draws, you're more of an endgame lover right though llama?

Bored_2_Death

Mine is 5.1% o.0

llama47

It's true I like endgames. Hmm.

llama47

See, all you guys are 5%...

1c6O-1

hmm time for some math

you have 109 wins, 65 losses, and 23 draws. 

add all of em up and its 196

23/196 is rounded to 11-12%

1c6O-1
 

and thats probably because we played more games, and we either lost or won and rarely drew
