In one of my first attempts in programming I used to assign more weight to a pawn that was being captured on the last 3 ranks, ie. a white pawn sitting on the sixth rank was given a value of 2 points instead of only 1. More points were given as it approached the end of the file. My thoughts at the time were if a pawn was withing one square of being promoted to a queen then it was worth giving up a knight, bishop or even a Rook to insure that it got promoted. Have not implemented that logic into my newest programs as of yet. Bill
