Speaking of  "weighted static Positional Values"

Yes.. sometimes they can be!
 NO Games are Won or Lost on "hundreths of a pawn" 0.XX
That is NOT a Material advantage!
If the Values exceed that in a Drawn position; then some static values
have been excessively "tweaked"!
If the Program caanot see it's a Draw, blame that on the Programmer too!
Another Programming error.
Also, the "contempt factor" may have been set too high.

In any case, until the Eval shows a +3.00 or - 3.00
for either side.. don't get too excited!
