So, an eval with king >safety terms is a factor (Gerbil v2 has some, but not enough I guess). I think that the only reason that you do not find it with piece square table evaluation is the fact that you have not the right extensions. A jump in the score of crafty from +0.19 to +3.10 and later to 4.34 cannot be because of king safety evaluation because crafty is not so speculative. Uri
