I thought it would be sort of interesting to see which openings lead to the shortest games and which ones lead to the longest games. Do you see any of your openings in here?

Interesting. It seems like dubious sharp lines, like the Englund gambit, lead to the shortest games. If you don't know what you're doing, you can easily go wrong. But if you know the refutation, your opponent quickly gets a losing position as well.
Definitely. They're also all gambits that you have to pray your opponent doesn't know.
