Indeed !
Most of my "improvements" are the exact reverse , and some of them do take some
time before they are eliminated ... since in some special case (which will be
what my test sets would be) , they would be pretty good ! While in search , some
subtree will get refuted due to these buggy patterns (hence not even showing up
in my pv lines ... thereby making it tougher to debug :( ).

BTW , thanks for the book suggestion - still trying to get it here ..... still
no sucess (Endgame Manual by Dvoretsky) .
