I care I have to do some experimenting to see how 1 "click" effects the
evalution table. I'm planning to run the same position with two
different styles that are identical except for a change in 1 "click" of
king position. AM i right in assuming any difference in Total position
evalution is due to the difference in King safety evalution? Eg Style 1
evalutes postion at 0.0 . Eg style 2 evalutions the same position at
-0.1 . ANy conclusions?

First I would like to say that I'm  new here (I've being lurking for
months though)..and know next to nothing about computer chess. compared
to most of you who are chess programmers. so I hope I'm not brothering
you people too much with my naive questions.If this is the wrong forum
to bring up such question..just tell me and I'll zip up :)

Sorry for rambling...Now for one more question!

I heard that deep blue has evalution tables that VARY accodring to
position rather than one STATIC evlaution values for all positions. IS
this unique? Or do other programs do this too? USing my favourite
chessmaster has an example. Eg It would play like Kasparov style in a
king Indian like position but switch to a "karpov" style in
positions.where black has isolated d -pawns, etc.. Of course we can;t
actually 100% emulate these players..But certainly we can say that the
improtance of various potential factors depends on the position. Eg Open
positions means that development is extremly improtant, while
development is less valued in closed positions.

This leads to the question how to classify difference positions (based
on pawn chains?) and how many positions?.
