=Backward=
We may use a more general definition of backwardness, or better a pre-condition for backwardness, to consider certain subsets independentlyin further processing. All pawns, which [[Pawn Spans#StopandDistantStop|stop]] is not member of own [[Attack Spans|front-attackspans]] but controlled by a sentry are considered '''backward'''here, no matter if they are member of a ram or lever or more advanced mutually backward <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=71205 backward pawn] by [[Vivien Clauzon]], [[CCC]], July 06, 2019</ref>:
<pre>
U64 wBackward(U64 wpawns, U64 bpawns) {
</pre>
=Straggler=
Stragglers are the intersection of above backward pawns with [[Open Pawns (Bitboards)#OpenPawnsSetwise|open pawns]] and the second or third rank:
<pre>
U64 wStraggler(U64 wpawns, U64 bpawns) {
}
</pre>
In the strict sense, we still need to exclude [[Pawn Levers (Bitboards)|levers]]. On the other hand, levers are subject of [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]] anyway.
