Subject: Detecting interesting underpromitions from endgame tablebases

Hi all,

inspired by a posting from the gambitsoft forum I had the idea that it might be
possible to extract interesting positions where an underpromition is the key
move automagically from endgame tablebases. This shouldn't be too difficult. If
you have all 5 men table you simply have to scan all positions and look if an
underpromotion gives the best score. I would implement it in Hossa but
unfortunately I don't have enough disk space for all <=5 men tables.

Best wishes,
Steffen.
