Gerd, this all sounds very interesting. How do you detect backward pawns and
"Hebel" (pawn levers?) by Bitboard operations? Would you consider in white
Pa6,b5, black Pa7 the pawn b5 backward? I thought about some such things, but I
found it not very easy to find convincing rules without many exceptions and easy
to calculater for the "blockedness" of the pawn structure.
