Right.  but except for such odd cases, the rook belongs behind the pawn that
it is best behind.  :)  it might be my pawn, or my opponent's pawn.  Usually it
is a choice and often the choice is a critical one.  And just as often, the
programs choose the _wrong_ pawn.

And then there are the truly stupid programs that think "if one rook behind the
pawn is good, then two is better."
