    the reason it's gone from 3500 all the way to 68000 in 2 years is because the opening explorer was changed so that it now includes every game played on lichess, instead of just being a small sample of the higher rated games

    • @1vader
      @1vader Рік тому +10

      Actually, it always contained all highly rated games. But the lower rated games were indeed sampled which definitely makes up a large part of the difference. It still increased quite a lot though. The opening popularity history chart on Lichess for the position shows a huge uptake around this time. Setting the max date to December 2020 in the opening explorer, we can see that the real number at the time was 15k, so it's still a more than 4x increase. Though I guess a big part is also that a lot of new players joined right around that time and a lot of games have been played since then. The number of games since 2020 is very roughly the same as the number of all games before that.

    My chess openings repertoire is really lacking since I'm just a casual player. As white, mainly Italian opening, Evan's gambit, Vienna and Italian game. As black, basically just the Caro-Kann only, all three major variations (advance, exchange, kaprov) and a little bit of slav. I need to just take an entire weekend and study more openings.

    He almost got what is known as a pure checkmate! It's when only one piece is checking the king and every square around the king is inaccessible for one and one reason only. Sadly, the d4 square was controlled both by the c3 pawn and the d1 rook.
