Checkmate or die is my motto, so my ratio seems pretty decent: 276 checkmates from 657 rated wins overall across all time controls.
...not sure about what % that is, but is it a good number or completely average? What is yours?
6 / 29, which, to be honest, was quite a surprise for me, I expected much less. I play mostly classical and there people rarely have the patience to play a lost game all the way to a checkmate.
@mkubecek and you're playing at a higher level, so the mates are harder to dish out!
My chess .com stats are similar: 44% checkmate ratio from 1,061 rapid wins
Well isn't this a pointless stat when most players resign one move before you mate them? xxx
@SimonBirch 'Nearly mates' would be a pointless stat! Either way 44% were not quick enough to resign or didn't see the mate coming
Yeah fair enough if they didn't see it then I guess it's quite good xxx
Well I mainly lose trying to mate people so all my other stats are absolute sh!te :)
Guys y’all gotta talk more about this on
Chesslite.wixsite.com/chessliteThey actually talk with you!
@DesertAnimals Looks cool, thanks
PS wasn't me who gave you the thumbs down lol
Hmmm, interesting numbers for me:

167 checkmates (~12%)
2023 losses:
653 clock flags (~32%)
566 resignations (~28%)
804 checkmates (~40%)
2200- (around my rating or below, I don't play people below 1900 however.) (5299 games):
2875 wins:
1350 clock flags (~47%)
1231 resignations (~43%)
294 checkmates (~10%)

270 clock flags (~12%)

I do have a habit of playing badly at night which decreases my W/L rate but generally I play any player that enters my seeks. I did get back from a hiatus of developing my opening on anonymous chess but I still need to improve some things. It should be noted that I do not play like most players but am still relatively successful.
