What if the pawns are for black??
In these examples of Pablo's games;

black pawns: a5,b6,c5,d6,e5,f6,g5,h6
definately stone wall with black.

white pawns: a4,b3,c4,d5,f5,g4,h3
partial wall, but two strong pawn chains.

The code was removed (19.15) so Crafty doesn't recognize anything like that now?
