Another point is that similiar rules can be used in order to know if KBP vs KPP is not a win for the KBP or KBPP vs KP when the pawns of white in the same file. You need to be more carful here because adding pawns for the weaker side does not always keep the draw. Here is a simple example: 5K1k/8/6p1/7p/7P/8/B7/8 w - - 0 1 black is losing when without the black pawns it is a draw. Uri
