Subject: Re: Hermann 1.43 also play its queen?!

Go up one level in this thread


Hermanns evaluation gives a small negative score for a Queen on 3rd to 8th rank
for every minor piece that is not developed.

The problem might not be the Queen itself, but the bishops in the corner. They
should count as developed, when there is no pawn blocking them. Unfortunately
this code is broken and the bishops often get blocked in the corner, as they
also did in Mainz :-(

I fixed the bishop problem, but I need to take a closer look at the evaluation,
if this is also fixed concerning the early moving queen.

Thank you for pointing this out.
