Every human chess player understands that a pawn more (without any compensation)
in a complicated tactical middlegame-position does not automatically mean
victory.
A pawn more in a standart K vs. K endgame does mean victory though.

Computers do evaluate both positions with more or less + 1,0 while good players
would give +- and unclear/+=.

Why don't computers have a material eval. like this ME = (Material inbalance) /
(all Material still on board) * X ?

Or does your program ?
