Not yet as I know. The program author, Ed Gilbert from USA, tries to make a product with high level of perfectness before he put it on market. The reason he shared a copy of KRI (Kingsrow International) with me is - we have a long (8 years) good relations and friendship. In addition I helped him a bit with algorythm and opening book testing for his for Anglo-American Checkers version of his program.

Nothing wrong indeed with Dam 2.2, but of course 7 pieces ending database is much more powerful tool. Today Ed Gilbert already has 8 (!!!) pieces ending database on his computer, but I don't have this copy and probably don't need (although requires several hundreds GB's hard drive space). For two years since I am using 7 pieces EDB and analyzed hundred of tricky tough endings, I never got into situations when 7 pieces were not enough for conclusion.

Yea-a, a bit pity but perhaps the best handling this nice motive, which is indeed not mine.

You welcome. If you have any questions and need Kingsrow help for final verdict - let me know and I'll be happy to assist you. Many other problemists (including such experts as Bus, Lepsic and Yushkevich) already asked me to analyze some positions.
Here is another assignment for you (see motive below). I am curious if you can make a practical looking problem with this motive (new ?), but everything possible !
