Note that the original subject was about KBN vs K and I see no demage in playing
strength if you know to win it only by tablebases.

I did not implement it in movei and the practical importance of it is small and
one of the reasons is that computer opponents with tablebases usually prefer to
resign or to let movei to get a bigger material advantage.
