Subject: Opposite side castling

Author: Howard Exner

A game from KKup2 has reached a point where CM5500 (black) can go
a pawn up against Fritz by playing Rxh5 but I think that could be the
wrong
plan in this opposite side castling game. This could ultimately result
in a white initiative as such pawns are commonly sacrificed anyway.
Another interesting opposite side castling game is the Crafty vs
Rebel.
   A question for programmers: do you incorporate chess
knowledge to deal with opposite side castling situations ie. giving
bonuses for advancing the pawns and opening lines to the opposing
king? Is this still a good anti - computer technique for humans
to employ, namely castling on opposite wings?
