I think that using different values for your queen(rook) and your opponent's
queen(rook) is a bad idea.

Maybe it works against most programs because they have no idea how to play when
there are queens in the board(I see that programs without the name chessmaster
are often bean counters in queens endgames and do not understand the importance
of passed pawns in these endgames) but I do not believe that it is a good idea
against chessmaster personalities.

It is not going to be a good idea against other programs when programs get
better so I suggest to stop suggesting not equal numbers for material.
