* Popular openings in S21 QL: French Defence Exchange Variation, ECO C01 (1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 exd5), 12/182 times; Ruy Lopez Exchange Variation, C68+C69 (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Bxc6 dxc6) 16/182 times.
 +
Popular openings in S22 QL: French Defence, Burn and Steinitz Variations, ECO C11 (1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nf6), 11/182 times; Queen’s Gambit Declined with 4. Nf3, ECO D37 (1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nf3), 18/182 times.
 +
* Some statistics for S21 and S22 QL; both had 14 contestants and thus 182 games. Bookless both times, so I look at games and not at minimatches. S21 QL: White wins 64 [35.16%], Black wins 47 [25.82%], Draws 71 [39.01%]. Among the top 7 finishers, 42 games. White wins 9 [21.43%], Black wins 10 [23.81%], Draws 23 [54.76%]. S22 QL: White wins 65 [35.71%], Black wins 33 [18.13%], Draws 84 [46.15%]. Among the top 7 finishers, 42 games. White wins 8 [19.05%], Black wins 5 [11.90%], Draws 29 [69.05%].
 +
Looking only at the draw rate: S21 QL: 39.01%, but 54.76% among the top 7 finishers; S22 QL: 46.15%, but 69.05% among the top 7 finishers. (by Bastiaan/kbg519v1a)
