Remember the discussion where you said "my king safety is ridiculous and needs to be redone. So that you could get something 'better'?" I didn't make that up. You or someone sent me some sjeng eval code a good while back, and the blocked pawn and majority and so forth looked identical, as an example, although you have to implement them differently without all the bitmap stuff... Doesn't bother me a bit, many have copied gnuchess eval ideas over the years with no bad effects on computer chess...
