You know that popular show, "Queen's Gambit"?

Glad they didn't call it "London System"!

graph analysis:

pandemic, people think the world is gonna end and stop playing dull openings small drop,

QG series released people think the QG is cool just because that is the name of the series

few months later people realise QG is not as good as they had hoped and abandon it in favour of the Grunfeld or Dutch or somethin

Queens Gambit is a good opening, but it can get complicated, while some lines are simple

its solid, but it can be passive for a long time until you open it up a bit

Why would there be such a significant dip, directly downward as soon as covid hit?  That makes no sense!

Actually now that I've thought about it, it makes perfect sense... There was likely a huge surge in chess at that time, with a TON of people completely new to chess and not playing common openings. Nevermind happy.png Lol
