CREATE TABLE table_204_706 (id DECIMAL, "year" DECIMAL, "competition" TEXT, "venue" TEXT, "position" TEXT, "notes" TEXT)

what is the difference between the number of times the position of third was achieved and the number of times the position of first was achieved ?
SELECT ABS((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_204_706 WHERE "position" = 3) - (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_204_706 WHERE "position" = 1))
WITH "_u_0" AS (SELECT COUNT(*), 3 AS "_u_1" FROM "table_204_706" GROUP BY 3), "_u_2" AS (SELECT COUNT(*), 1 AS "_u_3" FROM "table_204_706" GROUP BY 1) SELECT ABS(COALESCE("_u_0"."", *) - COALESCE("_u_2"."", *)) LEFT JOIN "_u_0" AS "_u_0" ON "_u_0"."_u_1" = "position" LEFT JOIN "_u_2" AS "_u_2" ON "_u_2"."_u_3" = "position"
