My take on the reason that question #3 has a larger turn-out is because we have lots of new members signing up daily on CCC, and they can better respond to a question like #3. Once they have been around for a while, question #1 is easier to respond to. In fact, I believe that Frank's post suggested that he thought he was able to vote on question #1 twice. If that were so, then question #1 would have the higher count. It is not all unusual for a different number of people to be voting on questions in the same poll. We do not play favorites with Chessbase. We are an equal-opportunity pollster; the highest bidder gets the most votes:-)))) - Steve
