Hello Chtistopher, You ask a very interesting question / make an interesting remark With regard to your Knight example: Certainly PST comes into play, as well as limited mobility, but I doubt most programs can ever justify nearly -600 points for for the sum of those [and purhaps other] defects. Fact is, IIRC, most versions of Crafty clamp the value of King Safety to 180! So theoretically, you could surround a king with 8 queens and the static eval would be -180 ! [for KS that is] So it is hard to identify/ define these facts without much, much code -David Look forward to more comments on this....
