I prosume, you are not counting those situations, where one side has or both sides have not a single pawn. Please check this, because that are also true pawn situations. >b) It isn't easy explain it to you now. >i.e. The matrices that you use to indicate the number of controlled squares of a >piece on a empty chessboard, and the other ones to indicate theirs number of >directions... I can't believe that that matrices can give the exact value of a >piece by theirs average, as you explain.
