Why don't you pick a game or two and post it?

Do you only play against the Komodo computers?

You should try playing real people and see how accurate those computer ratings are.

I guess 4. ..e5 wins against the players who premove 5. c3.  Does Komodo fall for that cheapo?

I do play the occasional game against real people but I mostly play komodo as I don't like the wait time. Unfortunately the app version I am using does not let me post a game. I don know about 5.c3 I usually play 5.Nb3 or 5.Bb5, if that answers your question. What about you?

Those are the games where you have played 4..e5.

That chart from Explorer says that 17 of your your opponents  have not reacted to the 4..e5 move by moving their knights. Instead, they just played 5.. c3, dropping their knights.

You don't appear to understand. When you play 4..e5,  99.99% of humans would move the knight.

But evidently one of your computer opponents doesn't move its knight, so you win a piece.

Of course, you don't win automatically.
