Go up one level in this thread

IMO the problem is not the many evaluations you could invent, the problem is
that the SEARCH says: we prune this position because of XYZ reason.
and suddenly you could have the bEST ideas, the program will not see it.

Take the game CSTAL Shredder, the reason is: why has shredder not seen Bxh6 ?
it was pruned away !
because shredder thought: it is not working.

WHY did it think it is not working: because it saw no sense in the moves.
when the moves came on board, and shredder was unable to PRUNE,
it saw the problem. with evaluations !

so you should IMO not invent one evaluation after the other, and instead think
how search and score works together such that those cases do not happen.
