I am skeptical of the usefulness of compatibility stars. I, an intermediate player, am 5 star compatible with beginners to advanced players. I hypothesize anyone I am 5 star compatible with is 5 star compatible with each other. I have limited experience (only 5 partners) to be able to grade how useful the rating is. None are 5 stars. Of the 60 players I have noted compatibility with from the two clubs I have played at, other than the 3 0's the compatibilities I see nearly always are 1.5, 3, 3.5 & 5. So of the possible 11 gradations, in reality there are barely 5. One thing I think is a deal breaker for a partnership and doubt BBO uses as an input is postmortem analysis. If one loves it and the other loathes it, the partnership will last at most 2 sessions. Another is history. If one moves on to their life immediately after the session ends and the other spends more than twice as much time learning from the history as the session length, the two are incompatible. Both traits tend to go hand in hand. BBO has knowledge of both private chat during a session and how much time a player spends at the history tab so BBO could use both as inputs to compatibility. I do have a 1.5 star compatibility with a partner who is nearly the polar opposite of me w.r.t. the two traits yet when we play we are always on the same page so the partnership is working. I don't know how BBO could foresee that.
