The score in KRNKR endgames should never be more than about +1 pawn (usually less) for the stronger side, unless I have some bug. I tested several different KRNKR endgames now just to be sure, and I didn't notice any problems. The other endgames should also all give drawish scores. The only exception is KRKN, where the stronger side sometimes is given a big plus score if the defending king and knight are far apart and the defending king is on or near the edge of the board. >-> gothmog 0.4.5 is quite happy with pushing pawns in front of it's own king. >IMO that is more often bad than good... You are right, it is a bit too happy to push pawns in front of the king. Sometimes it results in some interesting and attractive games, though. Tord
