If I was >playing this position I would immediately play to eliminate the last white pawn And there are so many easy ways to do that, starting with ...g5 followed by ...Kg6. Also trivial are moving the king to h6 or f6 followed by moving the pawn to g5. I cannot see how a program that's rated 700+ points above me can have trouble with such a posiiton. Is it possible to incorporate some simple "goal seeking" behavior into a program for cases where there is an obvious-to-a-human win or draw? (In this case it would be to eliminate White's last remaining pawn.)
