Are you sure?

Not sure what you mean by "understand" but I recall seeing many Winboard chess
engines play b4 and follow up with b5 in QGD positons when out of book.

I suppose some sort knowledge based on the pawn chain/structure would be
sufficent..And once b4,b5 is played the rest would be handled automatically by
search, bonus/penalties for backward,isolated pawns?
