Nice! You found a bug.
I filtered on GM/IM losses and a rating diff of at least 600.
But this does also include cases where the winner has a 600 points higher rating (most likely also also a GM/IM) ..

I think this also happens without a blog actually ;)

nice, but maybe you should not show "These are the losses by a GM/IM with white against an opponent which has 600 rating points less" section to mark the respect of these players. They would feel unpleasant if they see their own name being published as a loss. i respect your hard work. great blog

I had to quit with 2 hours remaining because of power failure

I'm genuinely curious, but how did you get all the data? It would be helpful if you could tell us

By the way, it was a really good study. I enjoyed reading it a lot
