Also from the top of my head elsewhere in the code when we have two bishops it is assumed these are opposite coloured bishops. It is commented that it would be better to do an explicit check because one or more of these bishops might be underpromoted, so they could be of the same colour.

Underpromotions are so rare that material values there have totally marginal influence. Wrong material value of underpromoted bishop pair??? Well, I think room temperature where you keep your machine has more impact on strength of engine than this...


This depends on what you are aiming at. In fast games this is very different from the analysis of a correspondence game, where every detail matters. In my opinion, well just ask Vas if he intends ignoring Bishop underpromotions in his server versions. Maybe he will you a clear answer, and maybe he will not.
