Here is an idea I've been working on:

It's faster to get the attack bitboard for knights than for bishops.
And I believe humans in general has bigger problems calculating tactics with
knights than with bishops, where as the computer doesn't really care.

So it would seem it is in the programs interest to _keep_ the knights on the
board for both players.

This would spell anti-symmetry:

Computer: 1,3.5,3.4,5,9.3
Human:    1,3.4,3.5,5,9.3

(if we use Uri's values)

Could this work?
