I think that the best idea is simply to improve your human knowledge. I also did not know it but I learned from the position. 2 bishops are simply usually enough to stop a pawn in the 6th and no need for the king to be close to the pawn for that target. Even the following position is a simple win for white. [D]K7/8/8/6B1/8/3p3B/4k3/8 b - - 0 2 The main question is how could your program not win the game. Uri
