Curiosity killed the cat.. This question is for both engine authors and chess players alike: How much mobility is a pawn worth? On one side of the equation, you can sac a pawn for increased mobility and on the other side, you can 'save' a pawn at the expense of decreased mobility. Now, mobility isn't as straight forward a concept as I once thought.. The effectiveness of my mobility is in direct relation to my opponents mobility. n = (my mobility) / (opponents mobility) how large does 'n' have to be before it is enough compensation for a pawn?
