Which is most common cause of draw in recorded play?
Stalemate Insufficient material Impossibility of checkmate otherwise than through 1) or 2) presently on board Correct claim of 3-fold repetition Correct claim of no progress in 50+ moves Forfeiture on time where losing is impossible Forfeiture on 2nd illegal move where losing is impossible Imposed by arbiter for 5-fold repetition Imposed by arbiter for no progress in 75+ movesAny other legal ways to draw (other than agreement)?
# 2 (insufficient material) ,#3 (impossibilitiy of checkmate) , #6 (forfeiture on time where losing is impossible) and #7 (forfeiture on 2nd illegal move where losing is impossible) are all variations on the insufficient material rule.
#5 is not the rule. The rule is 50 moves without a pawn move or capture. "Progress" is arguable. This would be a problem for #9 too.
#8, #9 Imposed by arbiter for 5-fold repetition and for no progress in 75+ moves. Where are these rules (#8 and #9) from? (Are they rules in Estonia?)
It would seem that you have left out arbiter adjudicated games.
As far as figuring out how common these various ways are, I would assume you are talking about tournament play, probably tournament play by masters (and therefore not including the first games of 8 year olds). Is that right? I would guess that 3-fold repetition is the most common (other than mutual agreement).
