"Best" is hard to evaluate.  But in this ending, if you have 2+ gigs of
disk space, Crafty is very deadly with the extra pawn, and very difficult
to beat with the extra pawn, *if* you have the KRP vs KR databases...  Since
it probes deeply in the search, it won't trade into a lost position if avoidable
and will quickly trade into a won one...
