Strange statistics in game explorer

Sort:

Compare this:
https://www.chess.com/explorer?moveList=d4+d5+Nf3+b6+e3&fromGame=1

where 3... e6 shows 2 games 50/50 draw/black

but actually clicking e6 shows:

https://www.chess.com/explorer?moveList=d4+d5+Nf3+b6+e3+e6&fromGame=1

which shows 3 games with 1/3 equal white/draw/black outcomes.

 

Therefore it seems the first link above should show 3.... e6 as 3 games, not 2.

Opening explorer is a very basic database tool, and doesn't take into account different move orders to reach the same position.
