Hi Michel,

Actually the table I have shown has to do only with the pawns on both sides.
   ie:

      white       black

        3           2         means white had 3 pawns+K and black had 2 pawns +k


also I am not quite sure what you mean regarding your last question but it is
not important to know the number of moves.  All I am interested is in the number
of games when the above scenario existed.

Thanks for your help


Les
