Something else about the evaluations of these programs is that even in this
position after 23...h4 they count as a bonus for black the pair of bishops,
which is adding insult to injury. Related to the inability to see the exceptions
to the rules, there is a nice position from a game Short-Timman:
[D] 2r2rk1/1bpR1p2/1pq1pQp1/p3P2p/P1PR3P/5N2/2P2PPK/8 w - - 0 32
Here the white King must go to h6 via g3. The programs that have the best king
safety fail to find Kg3. Inversely, programs with king safety problems find it
more easily. This is the main line:
[Event "Tilburg"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1991.??.??"]
[Round "4"]
[White "Short, Nigel D"]
[Black "Timman, Jan H"]
[Result "1-0"]

[PlyCount "5"]
