May be I have a very different opinion to that, because I want to avoid to manipulate the evaluation to fit for some special situation like K vs. KNB. Though I am far away from being ready with that, I am working on an evaluation function, which let the engine find its way to a positionally better situation. I think that implementing such special programmed shortcuts and also a usage of table bases are not helpful to improve evaluation functions, because they mask out situations, where a positionally good evaluation function could show its ability to find really good moves or to mate by its own.
