A Sankey diagram showing the flow of the first five moves in over 20000 chess games from Lichess.org. The diagram flows from left to right, with each column representing a move number. Black lines represent the most common move sequences, while white lines show less frequent moves. The diagram reveals popular opening strategies, with certain moves dominating in the early game. The most frequent moves are labeled with chess notation (e.g., e4, e5, Nf3) inside black rectangles at each step.
