Openings

There were variable length book openings in this stage chosen by Jeroen. The first letter of the ECO codes was distributed as follows:


If we use the opening 'family name' (using format FAMILY_NAME: VARIANT....) the top 3 are:
Sicilian - 14 times
King's Indian - 10 times

French - 8 times

The engines had little freedom to choose the opening variant, depending on the length of the book sequence. In fact all but one of the game pairs repeated the same ECO code and opening variant twice. Games 97-98 were two King's Indian variants that differed on move 10, with ECO codes E98 and E99.

Reverse pairs, wins

 
There were no openings with a 2-0 result, and only one opening with a biased 1-1 result (games 85-86, Old Indian, Tartakower (Wade) variation). 

Reverse pairs, same moves 


Pairs of reverse games diverged very quickly, 68% of the pairs diverged at most after 1 move. The longest repeated move sequence in a game pair was 18 plys long (games 37-38, QGA, Linares variation, two draws).
