There are some passed pawns which are a dangerous threat to the opponent, because they can promote and are therefore very valuable. There are some passed pawns which are safely blocked or which can not advance without being taken. They are not as valuable. How does Diep tell a good passed pawn from an inoffensive passed pawn? This is related to a somewhat old post of you, which must be buried behind a few days of posts. I ask because I have seen many programs overvaluing passed pawns that are not dangerous, prefering them over healthy pawn majority which eventually would produce a stronger passed pawn, and I wonder if Diep is better at making these decisions. José. P. S. I have access to a dual UltraSparc machine, and I migth be able to run some test of reasonable length (say two-three hours) for you. If you are interested, just let me know.
