Gary LinscottandMarco Costalba 52f3e717fa Add KNPKB endgame
In a game vs Junior, SF had the option to trade into a winning
pawn endgame, and failed to do so. PGN at bottom.

This FEN was one key position: 8/2Nb1k2/6pp/4Pp2/5K1P/5PP1/8/8 w - - 5 62.

SF master chooses h5 here, with a fail high, which goes into the drawn KNPKB
ending. With the patch, SF correctly chooses Ke3, which maintains chances to win.
