This is how several engines evaluate this drawish position: [d]8/3k4/8/8/8/8/B1B1B1B1/1B1B1B1K w - - (Funny enough, the GUI declares insufficient material) Shredder 7.04 : +28.00 Junior 8 : +30.00 Hiarcs 9 : seems to freeze, but it gives about +21.00 with ONLY 3 BISHOPS Fritz 8 : +24.00 Taking a bishop as +3.00 exactly, it should give a material advantage of +21.00, and there should be some bonusses for having extra pieces, extra control, extra mobility.... etc I think that Fritz does some kind of correction just in case a situation with two bishops of the same color takes place, but its programmer didn't bother adding extra code to amuse people who like these improbable silly positions.
