Normally mobility should help to find h4 for white. But in this special position white loses the pawn on h4. So a chess program must have here a big bonus for mobility to find h4 for white and to compensate the lost pawn. The idea of Gerd seems very interresting, but i think it's too expensive, because similiar positions/cases are too rare. Andreas
