This seems to be something not often discussed .

Why not save _lots_ of space then ??

When it is yout the KRXKR

get KRP , KRB , KRN

When it is about KQXKQ

get KQP , KQN , KQB

Rest is easily done by search I think .

And you also saved space for some additional :

KNKNP , KBPKP

It would be great if every program did that like crafty : it seems to be very
low of cost and for many PC users 2GB more or less _do_ matter :-)

Even when you think about the 4-men you will find a few that simply are
obsolete.
