there is a simple rule which solves this. (Else the line is skipped to early by
nullmove before the promotion is done)

Rule: A lone rook can't stop two connected passers on 6th. The rook is on it's
own when the king is too far away of the promotion fields.

I score that as +4.something if that happens...

Greets, Thomas
