Maybe I'm wrong but I think there is a good possibility that a user
who's able to request a list of error rates per move at certain scores,
is also able to generate such a query in SQL, access, or whatever. And
there is an even greater probability that there is at least one other
user with interest who can help formulate this query.

The John Doe user who just want to play backgammon and an occasional
analysis doesn't care at all -- so why do we want to provide him with a
gazillion different graphs?
