Search: Material/Pattern

This search is useful for finding endgame or middlegame themes. You can specify minimum and maximum amounts of each type of material, and find patterns such as a Bishop on f7, or a pawn on the f-file.

A number of common material and pattern settings are provided, such as Rook vs. Pawn endings, or isolated Queens pawns.

Hints:
The speed of pattern searches can vary widely. You can reduce the time needed for a search by setting restrictions intelligently. For example, if you set the minimum move number to 20 for an ending, all games that end in under 20 moves can be skipped.
