Subject: No material count in Evalualtion idea

Author: Robert Randolph

I am currently working on writing a new evaluation for my program.. I have been
contemplating an eval based on positional aspects and no direct material count.

For instance, a white knight on H1 would be worth maybe .2, but a white knight
on E5 would be worth 3.2 Of course these are my actual eval values, but examples
to better iillustrate my idea.

Has this been done before with any success, or lack there of?

If it was a plausible idea (as i beleive it could be) what would your
suggestions be for positional advantages and disadvantages in this system, as
they would be fairly differing than those of evals that also rely on material
count.
