Chess Opening Statistics:
Sam Trenholme stated that he wanted me to lose my Dunst game because he
wanted to 'to prove that you have better winning chances when you play a
more mainstream opening.' Well, Dunst Statistics already exist. Here is
what I found at the below mentioned link.
The Dunst only has 38% wins, 37% Loss and 25% draws. So it appears that
Sam Trenholme's comment is correct, in this case.... and in the case of
many other offbeat openings.
To see opening statisitics based on 500,000 match games since 1991,
showing % Win White / % Win Black and / % Draws visit:

That site also lists whites's best openings, black's best defenses...
based on statistics.
