Is this similar to measuring how many draws for games like chess and checkers?
In checkers at the top levels, most games are draws. In chess, the top programs draw a lot more than they used to. I ran a match against my program Komodo and Stockfish and almost half of the games were draws. Unfortunately the meaning and difficulty of a draw varies from game to game and in some games a draw is not possible, in others a draw is much less likely because of the nature of the game.
