And if you want to further improve on these tables, you could divide the games
into groups: {(w&b did O-O),(w did O-O, black did O-O-O), (w didn't castle, b
O-O),...}, this will influence the history no doubt.

Also try and look at the move history when in the opening, midgame and endgame.
I'm quite sure that for instance the pawn score tables will be much different in
the endgames. Pushing the pawns forward too soon will make them hard to defend
but in the endgame they get closer to queening.

Those are quite a lot of tables, but they would be a little more adaptive and I
think this is exactly the kind of knowledge a GM has.
