I don't understand your comment about fewer knowledge.

I was convinced, Yace would show 0.0 immediately in this position. But it
didn't. It turned out, that I had a wrong comment in the source, and the
detection of this type of draws would only work for the single rook pawn, but
not for doubled or tripled rook pawn. After few keystrokes in the source, I get:


       169   0.000   0.00  1t  1.Be6 {-240}
       179   0.000   0.00  1.  1.Be6 {-240}
       195   0.000   0.00  2t  1.Be6 h3 {-240}
       225   0.000   0.00  2.  1.Be6 h3 {-240}
       278   0.000   0.00  3t  1.Be6 h3 2.Bf7 {-240}
       308   0.000   0.00  3.  1.Be6 h3 2.Bf7 {-240}
       399   0.000   0.00  4t  1.Be6 h3 2.Bf7 Be5 {-240}
       516   0.000   0.00  4.  1.Be6 h3 2.Bf7 Be5 {-240}

and so on ...

One bug less :-)

Cheers,
Dieter
