I organized the epd's a little differently, separating the am's from the bm's, and it seems to work for me. A couple of comments: Pos0001, white should play b3 or b4, to get the outside passer. Mine likes passer's, especially outside ones, but didn't want to play the right move. So I tweaked up the bonuses and finally it plays b3. I have to be careful with this, however, since the problem *might* have been that other terms were being evaluated too high relative to the passed pawn, so they should have been reduced, rather than the passed pawn increased. Pos0000: I don't consider this the proper time to centralize the king, still too many pieces on the board. Hiarcs 6 switches to Ncxe2 after a minute, and my prog likes Ndxe2. Will
