| e3 | 58 | 13.9% | 44.0% | below the line |
| c4 | 31 | 7.4% | 45.2% | below the line |
| d4 | 27 | 6.5% | 57.4% | 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.
