How many points on average would you say that you(whoever you are) have increased in strength(if any) since you first purchased a professional chess program? Answer only if you believe that the increase in strength had something significant to do with the usage of the chess program. I'm not too interested as to the effect you think databases have had but that may be of some interest as well(yeah throw that in too :)). I'm curious also if some statistic or comonality could be found in those whose strength did increase. This is suddenly of interest to me because 95+% of all chess players in a 5 year period(excluding juniors) don't increase their rating beyond the statistical margin of error(when they do, the rating usually falls right back to where it started, and no significant change can be seen) R.
