I like 960 and should play more but I am mostly a creature of habit and low effort which means I play 1 min alot :)

flugsio is probably right. Not more than 2% of all games in any case. That should be about 1000 games per day. Or one game in a little more than a minute.

How often do I play it? A few times a week.

I know that it's fairly easy to get a game in 960, I rarely have to wait more than a minute for someone to join.
