Opening explorer lies!

I set on 2200 range, classical games.
Opening:
1) Nc3 d5

Here explorer show turn 2) d4 with 69% of won games.
But where is those 69% when i click?!

Well, the 69% win rate for white is the *total* win rate of 2. d4. When you click on it, you'll see the win rates of the specific variations after 2. d4.
ProgramFOX, Yes, but those variations provide win rates near 50-55%.
52% (185 games), 56%(36 games), 56%(36 games), 71%(28 games), 45% (11 games) etc.

So average win rate cant be 69%, i carefully checked and think that is a bug.
How it possible that 69% of 2200 players lose that simple and equal position?

Well the problem is that there are games in the second tab where the postion is reached another way but not with 2.d4... Thats why there are more games than the 127 that get the 69% ;) So maybe ppl are winning more with black when going another way, so it evens out... The total games are not too high so it will go more to 50% when more games are played this way...

EDIT: I guess many ppl are gong the way 1.d4 d5 2. Nc3 to reach that position ;) There you get 44% for white and 47% for black with 183 games.
