Great data Simon, thanks for pulling it together. One point I would highlight is that your own data with particular openings, IMO, should supersede the overall data, i.e. if you yourself do well with 1... e5 I wouldn't worry that other amateurs aren't. OTOH If your 1...e5 data is bad, it might be all the more reason to experiment with something else.

Very interesting article. I probably won’t switch openings because of it, but the data itself are very interesting.
