This is DEFINITELY biased towards fast time controls and low ELO.
- Bostonian 7y agoI am not suspicious :). I have taught my son to avoid the fried liver attack as black, but he has often walked into it and lost.
- pickdenis 7y agoThe fried liver was the first opening I ever studied while learning chess as a 8 year old. I had so much fun with it until someone pulled out 5... Na5 on me. Then I cried.
- chessroots 7y agoYou're very likely correct. The Lichess dataset that we have used contains almost all live games played on the site. As fast time controls seem to be more popular on Lichess generally, and take less time to play, we do see a lot more of these in the data. If you'd like to filter the dataset to different time controls or skill levels, you can click the graph button at the top of the page, then click dataset from the drop-down.
