Go up one level in this thread

How about a pawn ranking?

E.g. you do a pawn race calculation to see (for each pawn, for both sides) if it
can be queened.  Also, calculate any cost associated with prevention of queening
(e.g.: you can stop it but lose a knight).  Then you know the approximate value
of any pawn on the board.

Kind of a similar idea to the "pawn tablebase" idea that was done a while back
but calculated on the fly instead.
