Hi Dieter,

of course, but these pawn-endings may be evaluated more accurate eg. with flood
fill algotithms if the king is on the critical boarder of a passers square. One
could also consider possible pawn checks - and eval should trigger search in
some way to look further, may be a flag or value of probability of unclearness.

Regards,
Gerd
