This is an interesting thread.

The relative value of the pieces in games between GMs [humans] is pretty well
known.  But . . .

Is there something about chess computers/software that requires modification of
the values for human vs human so that the software will perform properly in
computer vs human and computer vs computer games?

If so, what is it about the computer software that makes this necessary?

Just wondering.
