Okay muggins is now better educated, thanks, but let me clarify that the second Max_W is the number of moves for white after black has moved first and I guess, Mzugs (mutual zugzwangs - sorry, never heard the term before) are postions from which both agree that to pursue the matter is a venture into hopelessness (for one side anyway).
Субъект: Re: RE: Deciphering the database stats...
The second max_w number applies to positions with black to move and win rather than white to move and win.
The "w" does not stand for white. It means Max Win Length.
Zugzwang is when it sucks to be your move. You lose as a result of it, and could draw if your opponent was to move.
Mutual Zug is very bizzarre. In super-tough endings, your side to move wins by the narrowest of margins. If your opponent could move, he can win. In fact, if you misplay, you go from a win to a loss!
