I remember but was waiting to see your opinion first. I also wasn't
aware of the significant difference in the weight of the cube errors
compared to checker errors.

I use it in order to better understand how well, or how poorly, I and my
opponent are playing. My understanding now is that the FIBS rating
attributed is a more accurate measure, in which case I will undoubtedly
pay closer attention to this.

BTW, I realize there is significant debate on the evolution of the
player records, but on a more immediate basis, would it be possible for
it to give the FIBS rating as well since this doesn't require any extra
data?
