Subject: Applying a score

Author: John Wentworth2

As a beginner chess programmer, I am having trouble getting my mind wrapped
around evaluating any given chess position. Seems like there must be an endless
amount of factors when applying a score to a potential move.


Knights in the center are worth more than on the outside edges

Assign a penalty for doubled pawns,tripled pawns

Allowing pins to take place gets a penalty

Causing a pin gets rewarded

Penalty for exposing the King to attack

Reward for castling etc. etc.


Do most programs have a list similiar to this? How many factors are there?
