But that wasn't the point. If a program is stupid enough to move all five pawn to the rook file, it doesn't matter much if the score is wrong as well. If it would never get into the position by itself, the score doesn't matter at all. If any program promoted to 8 same color bishops, I would erase it immediately even if it scored it as a draw! Some of these "problems" are like asking a real estate broker to estimate the value of a house with one bedroom and 8 (same color) bathrooms. The answer is pretty uninteresting. > >Helmut Bo Persson bop2@telia.com
