Go up one level in this thread

Recognizing pawn levers/breaks is a good thing, then one should have a bonus for
attacking those points. That will make the program play more purposefully in
closed positions. A common theme for programs not aware of breaks, is the
needless shuffling of rooks since the payback for the break will be outside the
search horizon. When a bonus applies, the program will with a higher probability
take the correct position with the rooks and the break will be possible to
calculate as a byproduct of the knowledge.
