My ordinal rank, and percentage rank for Rapid implies that over 4 million people have played at least one game in the last 90 days.
Batgirl - the stats that give 379,000 playing includes all games in progress. Not just live games. Same for games today.

61,000 are not 3% but 0.3% - so if you're generous you get to 1.5% to 1.7% playing from time to time
People say hilarious things. This ratio of 5:1 (1.5% to 0.3%) assumes the average amount of time an active member of chess.com spends on the site each week is about 34 hours!
In truth a small number of players spend hours on the site and a larger number spend a small amount of time on the site in an average day.
Checking the blitz stats, it appears around 4.4 million people are counted as active in this format. I think that means they have played in the last 3 months. This is the most popular chess format on the site.
From batgirl's post we can infer the average frequency of playing is a couple of games a week (the player numbers being dominated by players who play very little, and the game numbers by those who play a great deal).
1d4 wins 1f5 wins more
