Subject: Endgame frequencies in practical play?

Author: Nicholas Cooper

Hello all,

I was just wondering how often each type of ending might occur in practical
play? For instance, KRP-KR is very frequent but what of the others? Does anyone
know what the relative frequencies are for the various endings- let's say just
the five piece endings. How many times does KQP-KQ arise, and what of KNP-KN,
KBP-KB etc. etc. etc.???

If anyone has a large (say 1M games) database of games and the endings key
"Finale" or something similar (which I have only heard of), would they mind
generating a few statistics to get an idea of the prevalence of the endings?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Nick Cooper :)
