Without letting your Komodo 9 or Stockfish autoplay this position, by simply looking at it what side do you think has a better chance of winning, and what do you say about the value of the Queen after you find out ?

Without testing with any Engines, I would say black is better. I will check with stockfish now :)

White simply wins.

You can not separate eval factors from one another, there is a big bunch of 15-20 queen-value-related terms that play a role here.

Probably you found out by now, but what if I give you this even position with Black side to start the game on autoplay ? But first try to guess which side will win this time ?

White win with the extra pawn, but do NOT play just a few moves let your engine play the entire game at time control of 30 minutes.

f7 is an important pawn, it also affects black king safety, but, with black on the move, I hesitate between draw and white wins.

In any case, white has an advantage.

I let Stockfish play it out at 60 minutes per side and it ended in a draw after the 50 moves rule the game ended with 138 moves .
