Subject: Fix isolated and backward pawns scoring
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e06db93fde225eeae75dc8b3d5d1432c5cd14a8;p=fairystockfish.git

Fix isolated and backward pawns scoring

It is more clear and also more correct because we
consider enemy pawns only in fornt of us and not just
on our file.

Very small functional change, almost not measurable, but
keep the patch for documenting purposes.

Spotted by Marek Kwiatkowski.
