Oh, thanks :-).  Good Phalanx's results in tactical test suites are often
achieved via huge king safety bonuses.  And material sacrifices for king
safety are always correct in test suites (that's the way how the positions
are selected), but not in practical games.  Maybe pawngrabber style would
be stronger but I prefer high risk of incorrect sacrifice and 'king hunting'.
