Subject: Count only the most advanced passed pawn for each file.
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2430bf034cc31258c870797501bce0605bce3d0

Count only the most advanced passed pawn for each file.

This patch adjusts definition of passed pawns - if there is a pawn of our color in the same file in front of a current pawn it's no longer counts as passed.
