hello Uri preprocessing is synonimus of inaccurate... right, and one example is when Fritz 's eval changes a lot just after trade queens or something like that. But anyway one could think about that in other way, that all programs are preprocessors (aren't they?), and some does care about the root position(engines which you call rp), and others even doesn not care at all about it. bye love and peace. me.
