Hello,
I noticed something odd about game explorer, which relates to a game I am currently playing, so please no analytical discussion.
https://www.chess.com/explorer?moveList=e4+c5+Nf3+d6+d4+cxd4+Nxd4+Nc6+c3+g6+Bg5+Bg7+Be3+Nf6+f3+O-O+Bc4&ply=16&origMoves=e4+c5+Nf3+d6+d4+cxd4+Nxd4+Nc6+c3+g6+Bg5+Bg7+Be3+Nf6+f3+O-O&ne=1
Explorer shows that from this position, 9.Bc4 has been played in one master level game. However, if you then select Bc4, apparently 9...d5 has been played 6 times. Is this because of move order? It seems a little misleading to look at 9.Bc4 as a 1-0 result in the database, when really what one cares about is the resulting position.
