Statistically sharp openings

I'll post here the list of openings with total statistical sharpness >=2.

1. 2E1a 1. e4 a6 St. George, sh = 2.46 | 1.41 = 3.87 double-edged
2. 2G 1. g4 Grob, sh = 1.34 | 1.63 = 2.97 double-edged
3. 2Db 1. d4 b5 QP: Polish, sh = 1.70 | 0.86 = 2.56
4. 1E 1. e3 van't Kruijs, sh = 1.14 | 1.29 = 2.43 double-edged
5. 2B 1. b4 Sokolsky, sh = 1.19 | 1.23 = 2.42 double-edged
6. 2E1b 1. e4 b6 Owen, sh = 1.49 | 0.90 = 2.39

15. 2E1g 1. e4 g6 KP: Modern, sh = 1.14 | 0.92 = 2.06
16. 2f1G 1. g3 f5 Benko: Dutch, sh= 1.25 | 0.79 = 2.04

The colors describe statistical evaluations:

statistically excellent

statistically good

statistically suboptimal

statistically bad

I've added the sharpness results for the Old Benoni defense.

6 statistically sharp openings so far.

Sokolsky and Saragossa are the first 2 double-edged opening in our list.

I recommend you to try out these openings yourself before dragging such conclusions. Also these numbers does not tell me anything special

I try them constantly here. Actually, I often use the generator of random integers for my first 2 moves, so it gives me all kind of crazy openings.

All Yigor ever does on here is post statistical hogwash that means absolutely nothing.  Next thing he'll do is compare percentage of water content in various brands of white out!

Nice.

Thanks. I've updated the list. St. George defense 1. e4 a6 is statistically double-edged and sharpest so far. Though its white edge is substantially sharper.

You're welcome!
