The graph would keep the same, but I think that having a blue line that has nothing to do with the ELO shown looks weird. A good solution would be to put the number of games at the right of the graph, and state which numbers are ELO and which ones are games, I created an example to show what I meant:

OK, I see.. Thanks! I realize that the axis markings for the number of games graph are missing. I still did not manage to add them without messing up the ELO coordinates. The graph drawing module that we use does not make it an easy task. I'll post if we have any progress. :-)

You are welcome ;)

Another alternative is to separate the graphs, one for rating changes and one for number of games (You already have the Testing history graph, so maybe the easiest solution would be to just add another graph for number of games).
