My static eval for white here is -0.5 pawns. With a search the engine thinks it can force a draw and is happy to do so. As for _how_ I evaluate it, the major component of the eval is the white passer. However it's blockaded by an enemy piece sitting on a square controlled by the enemy so it has no prospect of advancing. That chops down the bonus to that passer severly. I do give some credit to white for aiming its rook/queen at the enemy king but monsoon does not understand the mate threat it poses. I think my eval here is just as skewed as sjeng's, just in the opposite direction. Do you actually evaluate the mate threat? Scott
