In the graphs of the "Rapid scores" and of the "Blitz scores" there's a strange thing. In the descending part (right side) every 100 points the line climbs again instead of going down regularly. 1600 more than 1575, 1700 more than 1675 and so on all the line. It looks like a saw. It's not logical. On the left side it's all regular.
@Wholoseswithmeisadud What do ya mean?
This is because some players will aim for a specific rating, so on each round hundred, they will stop playing rated games. So there is a boost to the numbers of players at that specific rating. Then the distribution is as regular apart from those points on the graph.

I never would have thought of such a thing: I thought of a bug of the program. My compliments for your reading, surprising but plausible!

#1 #4 You're right that such emotional attachment to numbers is not logical!

Maybe they are players who did not think to be worth that score and, scared, want to keep it, as self gratification.
