Subject: Is there a program with more knowledge about endgames?

My observation is that programmers did not try to teach program some rules
about endgames(for example about the fact that KRPPP vs KRPP is almost always a
draw when all pawns are on the same side).


I know no program that knows that this position is probably a draw(evaluation of
less than 0.5 pawns advantage for white):

[D]5rk1/6pp/8/8/8/8/5PPP/5RK1 w - - 0 1

I am interested to know if there is a programmer who try to teach his(her)
program as much as possible about endgames by teaching it rules from chess books
without caring about nps and about being better in games.
