What threshold do you mean? Do you mean that the total maximum positional score
advantage for one side is 1.5 (that is without material balance)? I think it is
not important to decide what is the overall maximum. 1.5 is too little I think
because a passed pawn on 7th rank should be more valuable in itself. I also
think that there is _no_ such maximum score which all authors use or which has
been confirmed by many GMs. By altering these weightings we can get these so
called "new paradigm" programs - altering simple parameters can make a big
difference in playing strenght/style.
