Subject: Make it push the pawns....

Looking at the positions Gnu chess doesn't solve at 5s/move in the GMG1/2/3 EPD
files - 4 of these appear to be cases of when it is a good idea to 'push' the
central pawns.

Mainly WP d5,e4 BP d6 - white pushed e5

How have people coded functions to encourage this push?

The only route I can see is to have flags which indicate when it is desirable to
do so, and switch them when it occurs. This is a bit of a pain in the Crafty and
Gnu code bases.

I guess coding for few pawns in the center might help.

Ideas anyone.
