The move 1.g3 (44495 games, score 55%) is the 6th most played move in my reference database. The moves that people were more likely to play were 1.e4 (3440262 games, score 52.9%), 1.d4 (2149509 games, score 54.5%), 1.Nf3 (528976 games, score 55.4%), 1.c4 (449325 games, score 54.3%) and 1.f4 (45513 games, score 48.7%). My opponent's reply, 1...d5 (15198 games, score 53.8%) is the most popular move that has been played against 1.g3. Not surprisingly, 2.Bg2 (10609 games, score 53.2%), the logical follow-up to 1.g3, is also the most often played move. After that the game went onto to a strange and rarely played path as my opponent chose to play 2...d4 (2 games, score 100%), a move that makes no sense to me. The moves that had seen more play were, 2...Nf6 (4643 games, score 55.7%), 2...c6 (2585 games, score 51.3%), 2...e5 (1922 games, score 48.8%), 2...c5 (602 games, score 52.7%), 2...g6 (374 games, score 50.3%), 2...e6 (281 games, score 60.9%), 2...Nc6 (78 games, score 53.2%), 2...Bf5 (72 games, score 62.5%), 2...f5 (24 games, score 43.8%), 2...Bg4 (14 games, score 46.4%), 2...b6 (7 games, score 92.9%) and 2...h5 (3 games, score 0%). If one were to play moves only based on the percentages, you would play the move 2...h5, because it has performed the best for Black as the player who has controlled the black pieces has won all three games. In two out of those three games, the winning side was clearly the higher rated player, but there is one game that might be worthy to note, the game between Muhamed Sinanovic (2386) and Damir Samovojska (2307) that was played at Šibenik on September 28th, 2009, where the lower rated player was able to win.
In those two games where the move 2...d4 was played, White was the winner and this game followed the game between Ervin Mozes (2385) and Daniel Koval (2190), played at Sárospatak in 1994, up to the move 3.Nf3. In that game the move 3...g6 (2 games, score 100%) was played, but in my game the move that was chosen by Kojjootti was 3...c5 (5 games, score 60%), which is actually the most often occurred move. For this game I took the N signing for novelty out of its place, since it was after 3...c5 and therefore incorrectly placed. Next I simply castled, which had been seen in 8 games before this one with a score of 56.3%. In all of those 8 games, it was replied with 4...Nc6, like in this game. My 5th move, e3, had not been played in any of the games that appear in my reference database, so it can be called a novelty. The three moves that had been played were 5.d3 (6 games, score 41.7%), 5.c3 (2 games, score 100%) and 5.e4 (1 game, score 100%).
