nullmove is great in the average case of a position,
but NOT in pawn endgames, because the weak point of nullmove
is in situations where there are zugzwangs. in pawn endgame
sometimes the whole endgame is about zugzwang.

apart from that in pawn endgames you already search real
deep. why need more plies?
