Hi! Consider implementing PieceSquareTables (PST). This is a small bonus/penalty for each piece type (Rook, Bishop, Pawn etc) depending on where the piece is positioned. For example you could give a good bonus for Bishops and Knights positioned in the centre of the board, and penalty for them if positioned at the corners. This combined with some opening knowledge is good enough to make an engine that is not trivial to beat. PST is the easiest knowledge to add in my oppinion and that's the first thing I added after counting material. Actually I don't know much about it since I've done very little other knowledge in my engine but this is the easiest I've implemented so far. /Regards Albert
