I do agree with that, I was just surprised by the magnitude of the effect
for 1pt matches. Probably it is just a confirmation of the fact that many
players plays 1-pointers worse than N-pointers. I think somebody, maybe
it was Kees himself, has reached a very high fibs rating playing only
1-pointers and noticing how even "good" players were only "average"
players whenplaying 1-pointers ...
