Twixt Commentator — Stats
Commentator caches every completed game in its database if it is visited. The original intent of this was simply to prevent unnecessary requests to the Little Golem website, and to keep Commentator at least partially running even if Little Golem was down. But what I didn't expect was the web crawlers that index the web for search engines. Over the years, through their random visits, they have inadvertently cached the vast majority of Little Golem's Twixt games in Twixt Commentator's database!

Games by Board Size Since Introduction
The table above is a little unfair: size 24 has a 15 year head start on other sizes. This table counts each size's games only from the point when that size first appeared on Little Golem, so the percentages are directly comparable.
