Years ago I remember reading something where Dan and Kathe Spracklen (remember them?) said that the addition of the square-of-the-pawn rule-of-thumb to their program increased is strength significantly. (I think they said a whole USCF class!) Anyway, now that I have passed pawns stored in my pawn transposition table, it would be simple to use them in some calculation to get a square-of-the-pawn assessment. How have you implemented square-of-the-pawn? Are there any strange implementation issues or things to watch for? What kind of strength improvement did your program get and how did you determine this strength improvement. Thanks ahead! Stuart
