I would have to pull all the events to do that, which is a lot of work
for not much value IMHO.

However, here's the game count for all of the 'L' players, from this
you can probably estimate the number of events played in by dividing
by 4, since that's the most common number of rounds.

rtgprovgms | count
------------+-------
1 | 496
2 | 615
3 | 1277
4 | 1422
5 | 667
6 | 147
7 | 94
8 | 101
9 | 62
10 | 50
11 | 22
12 | 17
13 | 24
14 | 8
15 | 14
16 | 2
17 | 4
18 | 3
19 | 4
20 | 1
21 | 1
22 | 1
23 | 1

I kind of feel sorry for that player who has 23 rated games but has
yet to win a single game.
