The results are not absolutely worthless

I can also use a special evaluation
to reduce the demage and I agree that using evaluate that only count pieces in
the board is not the right evaluation.
I expect the side to move to earn something(I can assume that the side to move
earn half of the material that it can capture and I think that I have better
ideas that do not cost me a lot of time).
