I'm looking for suggestions or comments about handling passed pawns in the program. The specific area of trouble is when doubled pawns are passed. At present I only extend on the most advanced of the doubled passed pawns and only evaluate the most advanced of doubled passed pawns as a passed pawn. The other pawn is simply a doubled pawn. When testing this on certain test suites, the version that considers both doubled pawns as passers did a little better, which is counter-intuitive. It needs a lot more testing, but I'm look for comments or previously gained experience. William wbryant@ix.netcom.com
