True. Perhaps even better would be to do a search where you let the opponent
select his moves according to the regular evaluation of the end leaves, but your
own moves according to the TB. In essence use minimax on a non-zero-sum game,
assuming that he has no TB and that your evaluation is sufficiently similar to
his that you can predict his likely errors.

But in the case at hand the normal search is deep enough to see that the choice
is between stalemate, K vs K or grossly lost positions.
