Hi Sune,

I think most programs will handle both of those pawn structures poorly.  These
positions require lots of piece manuevering and careful timing of the pawn
levers.

If I had to pick a side for a computer to play, it would be White, but only
because of the space advantage that Bronstein mentioned.
