Saved slices: 1723; mirrored slices: 0. Invalid or unreadable files excluded: 0. Counts cover saved and color-reversed mirrored slices; examples sample saved slices. Header and file length checked; payload checksum and WDL correctness are not verified by this report.

Random validation examples: single-board viewer | JSON (13784 positions; 0 slices with fewer than eight).

Example search: sampled. Examined 997690 of 861921934500 saved physical-board indexes (461871 legal, 211348 double quiet). Large reports inspect at most 1000000 indexes in evenly spaced windows across saved slices. An absent example does not prove that the category is absent.

Only exact partial WIN/DRAW/LOSS values qualify as example results. Bounds and unknown alternatives remain distinct. DPART002 blocks used for examples have their block checksums checked; full-file checksums and independent WDL correctness are not verified.


Special WDL positions

One example per category. Every starting position is double quiet: neither side has a capture. Results and move outcomes are relative to the player to move in the diagram. Kings have a double ring.

All diagrams and move results are for White to move.

Pip count means remaining rank distance to promotion (kings: zero). Highest pip count puts men nearest their starting ranks; both sides must simultaneously attain their material's maximum.

Only move to win

At least three legal moves; exactly one wins and every alternative draws or loses.
