His engine plays fairly good >chess. A lot of king safety is pawn structure. If you keep the box intact for your king, that is a large part of the battle. If you don't have good king safety and play against a program that attacks the king with vigor (e.g. Phalanx) you are going to get creamed.

Strike that, reverse it. The commercial guys are the ones with all the time to play around with new ideas. The amateur guys don't get to spend 8 hrs a day fiddling with chess programs. They have work or school or whatever, and do chess programming as a hobby.
