[luuqdaaw] KPPKPP as an approximation to the whole game

Is chess a draw? Look at various solved endgames: mirrored or point-symmetric positions, pawn(s) on 2nd rank, pieces on 1st, and no immediate capture, pin, or skewer, say by the first-move rook.

How many are draws?

Just looking at those possibilities of KPPKPP might be interesting.
