I have finished the pawn odds experiments for both apothecary 1 and apothecary 2 games.

The experiments were setup in the following way:

In the bishops inside initial setup a8 pawn gets deleted

In the bishops inside initial setup a3 pawn gets deleted

In the knights inside initial setup a8 pawn gets deleted

In the knights inside initial setup a3 pawn gets deleted

In the bishops inside initial setup b8 pawn gets deleted

In the bishops inside initial setup b3 pawn gets deleted

In the knights inside initial setup b8 pawn gets deleted

In the knights inside initial setup b3 pawn gets deleted

repeat for each column until j for a total of 40 games

repeat for 25 times.

Total number of games=1000

 

Apothecary 1 results:

normal setup side wins: 529

draws:124

deleted pawn side wins:347

normal setup side points:591

deleted pawn side points:409

 

Apothecary 2 results:

normal setup side wins: 531

draws:164
