I only said that using different value for white queen and black queen is not a good idea. I did not say that changing the queen value from 9 to another number is a bad idea but only that the values 9.9 9.7 are not logical and something like 9.8 for both queens seems more logical(it may help to beat other programs but I do not believe that it is a good idea against other chess master personalities or for the future when programs get better) Uri
