Two (very) minor issues

These are both in the Android app.

At the beginning of each game there is a countdown timer for your first move. It will show a little transparency inside the board. Normally this is not a problem, but in Fischer Random you need to take a look at the starting board, which is obscured. The proper place for a countdown would be the area in which the normal clock is drawn.

In a recent tournament I scored 4 wins of 8 games and one draw. I noticed that the statistics shows a win-rate of 50%. Draws obviously don't count as wins but they shouldn't count as losses either. If you give each game two possible points and count draws as one point, you'd get a win-rate of 9/16 = 56%.

Keep up the good work!
That, of course, is true. A win-rate is not the opposite of a loss-rate, as I unthinkingly assumed. Instinctively I wanted the one number to say it all, rather than requiring a separate loss-rate and, why not, a draw-rate too. ;)

I wonder how the performance is calculated, based on wins only? I feel that if I drew against a much higher rated player then that would be a significant statistical event.

Cheers!
