yet more proof that positional play is the ticket to classical chess? I think so and thank you, good stuff.

You were exactly right.
Can anyone explain the accuracy graphs please? I dont quite get the x and y axes.

The x-axis shows the accuracy, so it goes from 100 (the best move) to 0. The y-axis shows the number of moves played with each accuracy.
Very nice. Benchmark for how to look at tournament/match player performance.
Those are very interesting plots!
What about to gather more insights and then procede with ML previsions (for example if we know the performance of each player and the other variables like -color, opponent, place of the tournament, ecc) maybe a Machine-Learning model can create more insights and previsions..!
