Season 14 division 4 statistics

A summary statistics table of previous stages and seasons. 

Draw rate, wins

 
Final draw rate was 34.1%. The low draw rate reflects the wide range of engine strengths in this division. In particular ScorpioNN lost 43/44 games and KomodoMCTS won 32/44 games (and lost 1).


Game termination

The three most common game termination causes were:
43.9% - TCEC win rule
17.8% - SyzygyTB
12.9% - TCEC draw rule

ScorpioNN crashed 8 times in the division. It was allowed to continue playing since it lost all its games anyway, it had no effect on the table. Also of note are the 23 games that ended with mate on the board, with ScorpioNN the loser in almost all.

Openings

If we use the opening 'family name' (using format FAMILY_NAME: VARIANT....) the top 3 are:
Sicillian - 26 times
QGD - 14 times
French - 13 times

The engines had a lot of freedom to choose the opening variant. Yet 56.8% of the game pairs repeated the same ECO code twice, and 50.8% repeated the same opening variant. In 10.6% of the game pairs the ECO first letter was not repeated twice.
