It may be dependent on the evaluation of the program. I know that chessmaster evaluates mobility and it is posssible that if you include the evaluation of mobility then 3 pieces vs queen is an advantage for the 3 pieces. I did not check it. I do not know if changing the queen value from 9 to 9.8 is good for chessmaster. I only know that different values for white queen and black queen is not logical. Uri
