Subject: informant symbol values

Author: Andrew Templeton

   I would like to write a program that cleans up the analysis added to
a PGN game by Rebel9 to make it easier to read. Assuming that most chess
programs use 1.00 as the value of a pawn (at least I believe this is
true) what do you think should be the value for the following chess
symbols:

equality  (=)
0.00

slight advantage (+/= or =/+)
?

moderate advantage (+/- or -/+)
?

decisive advantage (+- or -+)
?

   I would like to use the above symbols in the analysis where
appropriate. I don't intend to replace the numeric evaluation, just
enhance it. I could of course specify a range in an INI file but I was
wondering if there was already any generally agreed upon values. If so,
I would naturally prefer to stick with them.
   Any thoughts on these, or the use of other symbols, would be
gratefully appreciated.

   Thanks,

   Andy
