That is where I correct the score to avoid tweaking with piece values and
seeing nonsense moves that do bad things. This says that a queen is only
a little worse than two rooks. Which means that if I have a queen and a pawn,
vs two rooks (and ignoring everything else on the board) then the queen and pawn
are a little better as the two rooks will never win.
that is nothing compared to the bonus Vincent tosses in for Q vs 2R...
