Frank: You are the programmer, not me, but...is not mobility more an issue of comparative availability of moves instead of an asbsolute measure? I mean, if one of my moves increases the absolute mobility of my position in, say, three squares, but because of my move the adversary get 5, then I have lost mobility not won it. There are many position where in exchange of the space you have won clearin, say, a pawn chain, the opponent win a lot more. The cases with trapped bishops, etc. On the contrary, it could be the case that a move that diminish your room for manouver produces an even greater lose of room for the opponent. Classic is the nove e5, with wich you lose a diagonal for the bishop but takes your enemy to a situation osf distress because he cannot anymore put a knight in f6 -or f3-. Just a though in the flight... fernando
