Thought I'd take a quick look at the new Gnu chess.

Look goods so far - although it's first match against the old Gnu chess
is running as I type - so far results mixed - this probably isn't a fair
match as I haven't sorted books, and such like. It seems to do better
except for some lousy endgame play, and less opening theory(not that it
has been that much of a problem so far - 

Already seen a couple of cases of both Gnu's grabbing enemy pawns in
front of the king.

eg. W Kg1 Pf2h2. B Pg2 and vice versa.

Thought I might venture into being a developer with a very small change
to try and fix it. Any one been there already - although I think it is
probably only a couple of lines in ScoreK, will at least get me started.
