Hello.
I'm a beginner at Go, and I'm looking for some statistics on the score at the end of the game.
More precisely, I would like to know what is the percentage of games that end with a score of exactly N points for Black? (for many different values of N) (and please also specify what komi was used)
I would prefer statistics for games played only by professionals.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Re: What is the percentage of games that end with a score of
On mamumamu0413's rating site there is a huge analysis of komi. Included on that page is the following table analyzing 14,379 Japanese professional games played out under 6.5 point komi from 2002 to 2013. Notice at the top that 35% of a total of about 41,000 games were played to completion. Different people choose different situations in which to resign rather than play out the game. Hence it is not at all clear what, if anything, these numbers mean.
