Am I reading this right? The queen is most likely do die in her starting position?

Intersting how both blacks G8 Knight as well as the B8 Knight never died on H8, but both died on A1. I guess 15k games might not be enough data here, or it might have to do with castling

I think it'd be interesting to compare data like this among players with a relatively lower ELO (say, <1000) to players with a higher ELO (>1500) to see how the patterns change!
