Pawn Patience Gallery

First-touch timing for each original pawn by Elo bucket. Each game type has 24 panels: all colors, white only, and black only for files a through h. The yellow band marks the 600-1600 Lichess Elo+Chess reporting range. Charts are truncated at 2600 Elo to avoid sparse-tail noise.

Summary

10min Rapid: average first f-pawn touch moves from 15.9 at 600 Elo to 29.8 at 2600 Elo.
3min Blitz: average first f-pawn touch moves from 11.4 at 600 Elo to 21.5 at 2600 Elo.
1min Bullet: average first f-pawn touch moves from 8.9 at 600 Elo to 20.1 at 2600 Elo.
The charts plot the average move number only among games where that original pawn was actually moved; untouched pawns are retained in the exported touch-rate columns.
