You (= Crafty) would rather be one pawn up + half a pawn positional score than to be two pawns up and half a pawn positional compensation for your opponent? I am surprised! I thought an "accurate" evaluation should consider both situations as +1.5, thus exactly equal. Maybe you should consider to scale up your positional terms (make Crafty more speculative), in order to push Crafty to positions of the former type!? Greetings, Gerrit
