I play Dutch with ones played better than me ,but play Sicilian with ones not so good.I think Dutch is less played by players,so I can get a good  systems in it rather than in Sicilian.

I'm not a big stats freak either.  Maybe your grasp of the Sicilian positions is stonger than your understanding of the Dutch.  The Dutch is certainly playable--though it certainly can be risky--so maybe it just requires more in depth attention to the nuances of the opening...

I used to have lousy results as White with the Botvinnik system English, until I spent about a month really getting under its skin.  Then it became a real weapon for me.

I do not care much about statistics, but one thing I know:
The Sicilian is played very much by the top 20 as Black, while the Dutch is not.

What is even saying less: I have no problems chopping weaker opponents with the Iljin-Zjenevsky.

Dutch: more risky then the Sicilian?

Hi,

I score with Black OTB against little bit weaker opponents versus e4 (maybe 30 % of games are Sveshnikov Sicilians, the rest are various Anti-Sicilians)+ 64 % / - 31 %, 
but with the Dutch Leningrad versus d4 only + 54 % / - 30 %.

Whondering how to interprete this now ???

Does it mean that the Dutch Leningrad is more risky then the Sicilian by nature? Or does it mean that I should seriously considering changing away from the Dutch Leningrad because results show that I am doing not so fine (consider that these are only results against lower rated opponents)?

As most Sicilians are Anti-Sicilians, I tend to think that they are not so (kingside-)risky then the Dutch Leningrad.

How you would interprete this?
