I am not completely convinced this was common knowledge and maybe you were re-assured in your choices by the quantity of games - but be aware that isn't necessarily the move you should really play especially because of the transpositional bias. I thought I should point this out as a public service announcement and observation.
The alignment to Sheep and` Sheep herding seems to be with most other databases. The alignment to top engine choices is actually with Lichess master's database. So much so, that I myself with 1.Nc3 was playing after e5 2.e4 and just making use of my Vienna game knowledge. The thing is, I find this kind of misleading. Is because of transposition and wanting to show the most games. The reason that other databases including show 2.e4 Credit to him for highlighting e5 as a major problem. It seems that you can run a very simple test to expose the misleading "sheep nature" of many online databases.Īnd yes I must say this was also emphasised recently when I checked out IM Lawrence's promo video of the 1.Nc3 system. It must always be remembered that White can hope only to obtain a positional advantage and not a game that is relatively easy to win." - Capablanca Of course it is true that, as in everything, there are exceptions. " Where openings are concerned, chess masters are like a flock of sheep everyone follows the first master's example. Especially given I have found a funny Capablanca quotation which is: A few months ago, I thought that the opening explorer had a bug in it, because I reasoned it did not match the opening explorer or Chessbase etc - it turns out, it is actually less misleading.
