Actually, Peter Karrer modified my generator to produce "chunked" TBs with
pawns, and was able to produce KQQKQP and KQPKQP in the assumption that there
are no underpromotions (see one of the Guy's yesterday posts). He analyzed K-W
game, as for that game underpromotion is not the issue.

I have his code, but have no time to make it part of the "official" generator
release. So for now I am producing pawnless TBs, as those are much harder to
produce than "chunked" ones with pawns.
