Go up one level in this thread


2 Rooks are better the less material on the board. They are worse if there
aren't open files they can be used on.
The Knight is 3 but if you get to a position even in the endgame where it is
better than the Bishop it's Value should increase and the Bishop's Decrease.
the Bishop is Worth 3 and a quarter 3.25 or 3250
But obviously not if all pawns are on it's squares and then if all your pawns
are on your opponents squares you end up having a bit of a problem so this would
tell me (I have yet to write a chess program) That in order to improve past what
any other programers have done so far, you need a Dynamic/static eval and you
need your software to know the difference and to be able to be elastic and to
decide when and if to change parameters.
