Subject: Passed pawn values

Author: James Robertson

Date: 23:59:52 10/26/99

I'm trying to write some code to evaluate passed pawns. Specifically, I want to
know how people score pawns as they advance toward the 8th rank. How much bonus
do you give each square the pawn advances? Does this increase with connected
passers? I think Bob mentioned that if the King is defending the pawn or it is
blocked by an enemy piece certian bonuses/penalties are given. What do other
people do about this?

Any help is appreciated. If I can get my program's passed pawn code in before
Thursday when I leave for the Dutch Open, I will be very happy. :)
