I agree, that kxxxk are practically useless. However, your above statements may depend on how you define "piece", and about the implemented knowledge. If you include pawns: KBPPK may be useful for programs, that don't know (well enough) about draws with rook pawns and wrong B. Before I have implemented a more general rule (with double pawns), my program showed something like +6.x for it ... Also, for very fast games, KNNNK might be useful. Regards, Dieter
