I think it is a known issue that Toga, just like Fruit that it is based on,
knows very little about stratrgy and plays off being a great searcher. Becuase
it is an open source program you could add to the eval but it will slow down the
search some for each thing added. In computer chess it is still tactics over
strategy, never mind the so called "positional" chess programs.
