The problem even with tablebases is with KBN vs KBP In this case you can go by search for KBN vs KB by sacrificing the pawn but if you cannot go by search to KBN VS KB your evaluation will be clearly wrong. I do not say that the static evaluation should evaluate these positions as draws but it should evaluate positions of KBN vs KBP as close to a draw and crafty has not 0.xx evaluations for them. Uri
