But surely the overall value of a chess position is is then adjusted for the
mobility of the Rook.

I'm no chess programmer but I'd expect the positional value of a Rook that pins
a Queen to a King would be greater than the positional value of a Rook at a1
while there is a Pawn at a2 and a Knight at b1.

I've been reading, and enjoying, but certainly not fully understanding, the ICCA
Journal since I was about 8, and I thought the pursuit of artificial
intelligence was still a part of chess programming.

No offence, but this post of yours sounded almost CWittingtonish.
