!!!!!!!!!!!! GREECE WON EURO-2004 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was away from Brainking for 5-6 days and now i'm back. So i don't know the whole conversation and i will try to read it later. As Ed said: "This board is for Gothic Chess."
So let's start something on topic:

Since Gothic Chess positions, with KQKC has been solved, i want to know how much % are the White's win positions, the Black's win positions and the drawn positions, if we suppose that White has the Queen, and it's White's turn. And how much are all these when it is Black's turn?

This endgame is very interesting and i'm suprised to see (in http://www.gothicchess.org/databases.html) that both sides (the one with Queen and the other with Chancellor) can win by playing first and giving a check (I don't mean they win 100% if they play first and give a check).
I assume that if King is near Queen or Chancellor that the game is draw (Except of course from some rare positions). Is this true?

I would also like to ask Ed, what happened the page with the endgame statistics?
Also what happened this link: http://www.worldchampionshipcheckers.com ?

!!!!!!!!!! GREECE WON EURO-2004 !!!!!!!!!!!!
