I am trying to improve my king safety term in the evaluation function, but without sufficient personal chess expertise to set a sensible benchmark. Maybe this is asking for information that people might not want to give, but with a full set of opponents pieces, white castled kingside, h, g, f files open and opponent castled queenside, how big is your kingsafety bonus. A knight, a pawn ……..? Any thoughts on calibrating such terms are welcomed. My positional evaluation terms are an ad hoc set of numbers, bearing no particular relationship to each other. Generalised pieces values seem well established. Has the chess programming community evolved reference values for specific positional terms. Frank
