RE: [Bug-gnubg] Player records are wrong

[Albert Silver]

Ok, many thanks for the explanation. It makes sense to me now, and I no
longer feel so worried. :-)

I have a slight request for the player records. Since it keeps track of
the error rate per game, I'd like to have it also keep track of the
error rate for certain scores. In other words it would keep a separate
track also of the error rate at DMP, at 2-away 4-away (and other 5 point
match scores) and of course for money games. This way a user could see
what situations they are playing worse and work to improve their play or
cube decisions. This would be quite interesting I imagine.

The reason for the 5-point match scores and not all for example, is that
a strong player told me that 90% of the matches end up at some type of
such score situation.
