Now that the robots.txt file has greatly reduced the robot traffic to the
site, the usage statistics better reflect the usage of the site by human
beings. So I thought I would share some of the statistics here.

The four most popular pages are (1) the Rules of Chess, (2) the Game
Courier script, (3) the Xiangqi page, and (4) the Shogi page. People
follow links from these pages more often than they follow links from any
other pages, including the main query script. Aside from pages on Chess,
Xiangqi, and Shogi, the most popular Chess variant pages were in order on
Star Trek 3D Chess, Alice Chess, Chaturanga, Ultima, Enochian Chess,
Fischer Random Chess, Raumschach, Nemeroth, Losing Chess, Makruk,
Bughouse, Anti-King Chess, Omega Chess, Glinski's Hexagonal Chess, Korean
Chess, Jupiter, Chess with Different Armies, Gary Gygax's Dragon Chess,
Shatranj, Cows and Butterflies, Kobayashi Maru Variant of Star Trek 3-D
Chess, Shou Dou Qi, Patt-schach, Capablanca's Chess, Kriegspiel, Wizard
Chess, Smess, Tunnelshogi, Spinal Tap Chess, Maxima, and Typhoon.

The top identified countries of users are the United States, which had the
lion's share, Australia and Italy, which were both above 2%, and the
United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, and Denmark,
which were all above 1%.

With the exception of '3D chess', all the most popular string searches
related to Chess, Xiangqi, or Shogi.
