Windows x64 for Haswell CPUs Windows x64 for modern computers Windows x64 Windows 32 Linux x64 for Haswell CPUs Linux x64 for modern computers Linux x64	Author: Jerry Donald Watson Date: Mon Mar 12 22:57:21 2018 +0100 Timestamp: 1520891841 Adjust initiative in pure pawn endgames King and pawn endgames are typically decisive, and a small advantage is often sufficient to win. Therefore we now take this into account when computing the initiative adjustment. This idea came from a series of patches by Gian-Carlo Pascutto.

Perhaps the coefficients could be tuned again. - It may be possible to add special knowledge for other endgames in the initiative calculation.
