No... because, again, I wouldn't ever check for two same-colored bishops as a
special case since I haven't seen it in over 100K games.  In fact, I don't
think I have _ever_ seen it in any game, although someone might query chessbase
to see if they can find such a game.  Also the databases solve 95% of these
cases instantly...
