What Black actually plays here

Across 1,885 games from a Lichess-derived book of club play, Black scores 54.5% in this position. These are the replies people choose, and how each one works out.

ReplyGamesShare Black scoresVerdict
d5 1,711 90.8% 54.9% holds up
e6 96 5.1% 50.5% below the line
d6 26 1.4% 57.7% holds up

"Below the line" means the reply scores at least three points worse than the position does overall. Replies played fewer than 25 times are left out: the sample is too small to read.

Is this costing you anything?

A table of averages cannot tell you whether you go wrong here — only your own games can. Opening Leak Lab reads your Chess.com or Lichess archive, finds the decisions you repeat, and checks each one against this book and a bundled Stockfish.
