The table shows for each game variant the quadratic average of the number of moves for all games, for games alone where defenders (white) won and games alone where attackers (black) won.
Some of the variants come out very steady, in that it almost doesn't matter to the gamelength whether white or black wins.
Such variants are suited for use of a chess clock.
