I tried with many extension but failed. Now I only have the extension at going to row 7. In evaluation, there could be done much, especially if you hash the pawn structure :) -A code evaluating simple pawn race helped much. (clear) -looking, if two free pawns together can outrun the king. (clear) -isolating the structure to KPK and looking if it works...(gives hints..) -looking at the kingpositions together with the passed pawns (also if there is some (not much) material on the board. (????) -blocking is always good ( nearly always) -using TBs, especiall 5-piece :-) ( all together not really "correct" and not enough....) All together works a little, and so the Endgame is not as poor as before, but play against Crafty in endgame, and you get crashed!!! The bigger problem, for me, is the pawn structure. In many games against Crafty, I recognized, that my program comes into the endgame with a not so good pawn structure than Crafty, who soon gets an outside passed pawn........ Much to do....... Werner
