In the Master Games section of the database, after 1. e4 c5 2. c3 e6 3. d4 d5 the games explorer shows 50 games featuring 4.e5, and of these White is shown winning 24%, Black winning 34%, and 42% drawn. However, after actually clicking on 4.e5 there are now shown not 50, but 673 games; and it is clear that Black is not the winner of a plurality of them.
Can someone explain the mechanics of the Games Explorer to me? Why does it show that there are 50 games having 4.e5 when offering 4.e5 as a branch point, but 673 games having 4.e5 after the branch is actually selected? And how do I go about finding the 50 games of which Black wins a hefty plurality?
Has the operation of the Games Explorer recently been changed? Now it suddenly reminds me of chessgames.com's Opening Explorer, which was always confusing.
