What's the most common type of endgame??
Sort:
I believe it is:
- Pawns and Kings
- Towers and Kings (with or without the pawns)
This is a meaningless question. With that said, it probably is K+P, but only because a good deal of endings end up trading down into it. Rook endings would be close, though.
K+P

And 1/4 of the time is a draw.
Most of the time it is checkmate.
I think it is the king and pawn endgame.
