This is a position from the recently posted Joshua Haglund game [D] 5n1k/1p1br1rp/p1p1p1p1/2PpPp2/PP1P1N1P/3N1BP1/5P2/1R2RK2 w - - 0 39 39.a5 This is a position from a game against Shredder 8 I played one year ago [D] 1r2r1k1/1pb3pp/1q2p3/p2p1p2/2pPnPnP/P1P1PNP1/1P2Q1R1/2R1BNK1 b - - 0 44 44...a4 This is a position from a similar game against Hiarcs 9 [D] r1r3k1/6pp/3bpnq1/pp1p1p2/2pP1P1P/P1P1PNP1/1P2Q1R1/R3B1K1 b - - 0 25 25...a4 You certainly can not solve the problem generally without decreasing strength but it is at least possible to prevent the engines from playing this beyond stupid move. This should actually increase strength since this kind of pawnstructure also occurs in normal chess: [D] 8/1p6/p1p5/2Pp4/PP1P4/8/8/8 w - - 0 1 It is certainly almost always a bad idea to play a5 here.
