Here we go...

346 games were played.

White made 35 checkmates.
Black made 36 checkmates.
There were 39 stalemates.
There were 236 interrupted games. (After 1000 moves without mate/stalemate)

80% draws approximately.  The 50 moves rule could perhaps decrease a little
the number of mates and stalemates. I think three repetition wouldn't exist
often, if there is enough material for mating.
