I would drop the piece tables for the queen and rook. For the rook open file,
semi open file bonuses along with a small mobility bonus should work just fine
and be more accurate for good positioning of the rook. For the queen, mobility
and king proximity work better than piece table bonuses for me. Naturally both
should get 7th rank bonus. For the rest of the pieces Sjeng and Beowulf have
excellent examples of good piece square values. For knight outpost I would
suggest something like this.
