1. Title: Chess End-Game -- King+Rook versus King+Pawn on a7 (usually abbreviated KRKPA7). The pawn on a7 means it is one square away from queening. It is the King+Rook's side (white) to move.

2. Sources: (a) Database originally generated and described by Alen Shapiro. (b) Donor/Coder: Rob Holte (holte@uottawa.bitnet). The database was supplied to Holte by Peter Clark of the Turing Institute in Glasgow (pete@turing.ac.uk). (c) Date: 1 August 1989

4. Relevant Information: The dataset format is described below. Note: the format of this database was modified on 2/26/90 to conform with the format of all the other databases in the UCI repository of machine learning databases.

5. Number of Instances: 3196 total

6. Number of Attributes: 36

7. Attribute Summaries: Classes (2): -- White-can-win ("won") and White-cannot-win ("nowin"). I believe that White is deemed to be unable to win if the Black pawn can safely advance. Attributes: see Shapiro's book.

8. Missing Attributes: -- none

9. Class Distribution: In 1669 of the positions (52%), White can win. In 1527 of the positions (48%), White cannot win.

The format for instances in this database is a sequence of 37 attribute values. Each instance is a board-descriptions for this chess endgame. The first 36 attributes describe the board. The last (37th) attribute is the classification: "win" or "nowin". There are 0 missing values. A typical board-description is

f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,l,f,n,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,t,n,won

The names of the features do not appear in the board-descriptions. Instead, each feature correponds to a particular position in the feature-value list. For example, the head of this list is the value for the feature "bkblk". The following is the list of features, in the order in which their values appear in the feature-value list:

[bkblk,bknwy,bkon8,bkona,bkspr,bkxbq,bkxcr,bkxwp,blxwp,bxqsq,cntxt,dsopp,dwipd, hdchk,katri,mulch,qxmsq,r2ar8,reskd,reskr,rimmx,rkxwp,rxmsq,simpl,skach,skewr, skrxp,spcop,stlmt,thrsk,wkcti,wkna8,wknck,wkovl,wkpos,wtoeg]

In the file, there is one instance (board position) per line.
