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. Jari
