I know thats what you do :) But won't that just make the capture sequences that ends with a king capture, look very good? If the value of the king is 100 pawns, the capture sequence I mentioned above, would stop after the queen has captured the king, and this capture would then get the value of 101 instead of 1 (disregarding that the king is actually mated. Just pretend that the knight on d7 is gone). There might be other captures in the position that wins a queen, and as such gets a value of 9, but this capture winning only a pawn, will look better as it will have a value of 101. Isn't that a problem? Couldn't it just be solved by saying "If we capture a king, the value of this sequence is the SEE value two moves before the king is captured"? /David
