I do perfectly know that's probably wrong and deceptive compare players from different historical contests and that never played against each other; but it would be interesting know who is the most recognized champion among chess.com people.
In another topic within this same forum entitled "Time taken for each move", Loomis asked the following questions:
"Is it possible to see how much time was taken for each move? Either how much time was actually spent on the page (I understand there are problems with accuracy here), or the real time from my opponents move to my move? This would be interesting to me to see after a game."
He followed up by noting that this type of information could help him to discover if he was thinking about critical positions for a sufficient amount of time.
Some survey questions that might place such information into context would be "How often do you respond to a your move prompt on your next log in after finding out the move?" and "Do you generally respond to your move prompts during the same session or in a subsequent session?"
how competitive are you when you play chess
(a) it's just fun; I don't care if I win or lose
(b) I always try to win but it's not important if I lose
(c) winning is important to me
