6000 chess players took part in our beauty contest

We recently conducted a test: you had to choose a number between 0 and 100, and could win prizes if your number was closest to 2/3 of the average of the numbers given by all participants. The experiment is known as the “Beauty Contest” and goes back to John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists who ever lived. Did chess players score above or below average?
