Why doesn't it work? It seems to me that as long as you are able to hammer out
the details of detecting forks and special cases you should be able to implement
this (or any other tactical recognition) statically in the evaluation function.

Of course, I have never tried it myself, so you surely know better than I do,
but I'm curious if you could provide us with some information as to WHY it won't
work. Is it because there are too many special cases to handle to make it
accurate?

Thanks,
Russell
