Statistically the pawn to the rightmost of the white king also survives in some 70%, while the queen only has about 49% chance of survival to the end. The knights and the pawn in front of the queen are the first to go.

I will quit in any of these cases (I call these legal cheats, because frankly it shouldn’t be allowed): castling, obviously en passant, obviously promotion, obviously horsey jumping in front of the pawns as first move (wtf) pawns moving 2 squares (op) bishop taking my rook (unfair, I didn’t mean that last move) me having the black (imba)
