In other words you claim that every program with the KBP vs KPP tablebases when
they will be avialbale is a GM candidate.

I also suspect that the KBP vs KP tablebases can push programs to avoid Bxd4
because they will know that taking the pawn b4 is a draw.

I have not these tablebases so I do not know if I suspect correctly.
