I agree that every position is unique, as a good chessplayer you must have known that badly coordinated pieces are often disastrous (due to tactics). A search cannot be exhaustive, but if a search shows no serious consessions (negative positional factors) for getting 3 minors for a queen it is better, barring even superior material (or positional) gains. It is not truly objective, but inside the search limits (nodes, plys, time)it is the best option (the objective one). I have a problem using the word subjective in conjunction with computer algorithms. But it is subjective insofar that one cannot prove correctness. Regards Dan Andersson PS those interested in games w. odd material are encouraged to study the games of David Bronstein. DS
