I'd have to see it to comment. In theory I had no big trouble with the
stats, but admit if a way could be found to see them conveniently all at
once that would be nice. As to the local menu, I thought the Copy button
did a good job of this already, but for Windows users this will adhere
to usual standards as local menus are common items.

I like this idea quite a bit as I do enjoy seeing the breakdown, but
wonder where it might not be possible to tie this in with the next
excellent (à la Snowie) suggestion.

> * Add a graph to show the error rates in each game (using opengl)

I wonder whether it might not be possible to somehow put both this and
the previous suggestion together. Obviously one would need to see the
spcae, whether one might fit the stats and graphs all on a same 800x600
screen, but imagine it this way: Graphs on the side (whichever or on
top), and the statistics on the side. If the user mouse overs, or
clicks, on the graph of a particular game (ex: Game 2) then the
statistics will show those of Game 2.

I agree about the button but not the extra dialogue. I think it should
by default analyse the match or session (which in practice makes no
difference which you choose), and leave the much rarer Analyse Position
and Analyse Game (I hardly ever use these) to the menu. The idea is to
leave it as a single click option and not merely relocate a 2-click
process.
