I've been playing against the bots for a while here, trying to get up to speed after not playing for years. Occasionally this pops up at the end of a game - and it always says I need to play 4 more games. The number never changes.... Can anyone explain?

It looks like you have 1 live game, so that's probably why, though I wouldn't think the vs Computer section should have the message. It takes 5 rated games for your rating to show in live games and that's what that message is about.

Thanks for the explanation. That sounds reasonable, but I've never played a live game. I guess the auto notification system is a mite confused........

You have one rapid game.

Well, that clears that up. It's hard to argue, when you showed me the game. But I don't remember playing it.... I wonder if I had a bourbon or two too many, and thought I was playing a bot?
