Subject: New knowledge in Crafty 18.01? Remote pawn

Author: Torstein Hall

[D]3R4/3r1p1p/2pk4/5r2/6p1/6P1/P3RP1P/1K6 w - - 0 35

This position is from some blitz games played with Fritz 6 and Crafty 18.01
Crafty won 15.5 - 10.5 but that is not the point.

In this position Fritz 6 belives black to be a little better, even after a
rather long tink. Crafty 18.01 sees that 35.Rd2+ is a winninig move for white
because of the remote free pawn endgame resulting. (35...Rd5 36.Rxd7+ Kxd7
37.RxR PxR and the rest is perhaps easy.) While Crafty 17.11 still want to play
Rd2+ but do not see it as winning.

Is there some new knowledge about remote pawns in Crafty 18.01?

....and how is other program evaluating this position?
