By coincidence, I was exploring a couple of very related questions a few months ago:

- [what are the commonest checkmating moves](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/44959/what-are-the...)

- [Have any full rank-and-file piece specifications ever been required in a masters level game of chess?](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/44961/have-any-ful...)

I think this question here is perhaps the more interesting one though, and it's so well explored.



Huh. I wonder if the set of possible checkmate positions is quite limited compared to the full game.
