I would guess that there is some sort of problem, since 4 more votes have been
registered for question 3 than for question 1. If it were the other way around,
perhaps people only answered one question and left, but this way it looks as if
some votes on question 1 didn't register. Most likely a plot by Chessbase, of
course. ;-)
