I've been advocating this for years, but nobody paid much attention. By using probability theory, an evaluator can make more principled use of the available information. If you understand the value of a piece of information for evaluation, and you understand how it relates in probability theory terms to the rest of your evaluation information, you know exactly what to do with it. In the long run, it can only help program strength. That's how the crushingly-strong othello programs work. Chess is more complicated, but the same principles apply. It is more work to get started with.
