monvieux and neostreet: compare and contrast

Since I'm a software engineer by trade, I've written a lot of utilities to help me analyze my poker and chess data. Since there's so much analytical power inherent in relational databases, some of my tools help me import poker and chess data into MySQL databases. I'd been badgering monvieux for a while to supply me with the PGN files of his blitz games, and he finally complied today. I imported his game data into its own database, and ran some queries on it. The results show that monvieux and I have vastly different approaches to blitz. The starkest differences are in our choices of time control and opening move.

here's the crosstab of his games by time control:

count(*)    time_control
  562            5|0
   52            3|2
    5            3|0
    1            10|0

here's the crosstab of my games by time control:

count(*)    time_control
  272            10|0
    9            5|0
    1            3|0

here's the crosstab of his White games by opening move:

count(*)    left(first_move,4)
  309            1.e4
    1            1.e3

here's the crosstab of my White games by opening move:

count(*)    left(first_move,4)
   94            1.d4
   46            1.e4

It's almost unfathomable to me that in over 600 blitz games, he's never played 1. d4 as White. I can't help but feel he's missing out on some great games.

neostreet: 1237 (135-132-15 (282))
monvieux: 1303 (336-279-15 (630))
