For example, there isn't there quite a bit in there about Rooks on the 7th? Most programs have this eval. term, its quite an important one. I think "My System" also talks about blockading passed pawns, this is something that my program doesn't have an eval. term for but I plan to add it. I've seen quite a few games where it would have save a half point at least. cheers, Peter
