Average number of games played

Looking at all the players who played at least 10 games the average number of games played is:
41

Longest time spent playing

The most played games does not necessarily mean the longest time playing. There are some reasons for this:

• your berserk percentage has a major impact
• a lot of short games mean less playing time
• also Arena strategy has impact. For example: (some) people quickly resign a worse position to start a new game (and they might be right from a marathon score point of view)

There are also some factors which are (unfortunately) not part of the calculated playing time:

• the waiting time to get paired
• the time after the last move (this is not recorded in the game notation)

To calculate the longest time spent playing I add all the actual move times.
Note that this is different than the time Lichess shows for the max time spent playing (longest streak)
In general the streak time Lichess shows is longer than the actual playing time
