So a >computer has to see something _else_ to more than offset that king safety issue. I know for sure that mobility of the rook based on number of moves is one of the component of Fruit's evaluation. There are other components but the possibility that mobility of the rook is more important than them is not illogical > >I suspect _many_ strong computers will _not_ play this move, for the reason >given above, since any long-term gain by the move is way beyond any search >horizon, and is going to be purely based on positional scoring numbers.. > >Mobility of the rook is a lousy reason for h5. Otherwise black would always be >playing a5 and h5 to give both rooks more mobility... mobility of knight and bishop is more important in the opening so Fruit prefers to develop them in the opening but it certainly gives a bonus for having more moves with the rook. Here is part of the code of fruit2.1. It gives bonus of 0.02 pawns for every possible rook move in the opening(it is practically average between 0.02 and 0.04 based on the stage of the game) when it gives bonus of 0.05 pawns for every bishop moves and 0.04 pawns for every knight move Mobility of the rook is not the only reason that push fruit to choose h5 but it is probably one of them. static const int KnightMobOpening = 4; static const int KnightMobEndgame = 4; static const int BishopMobOpening = 5; static const int BishopMobEndgame = 5; static const int RookMobOpening = 2; static const int RookMobEndgame = 4; static const int QueenMobOpening = 1; static const int QueenMobEndgame = 2; static const int KingMobOpening = 0; static const int KingMobEndgame = 0; Uri
