Some of you may know it. It could help tuning the eval in some particular cases.

Thanks for the link, interesting stuff. I still prefer to read things like that instead of digging in other sources for information like that.

Although Kaufmanns article has obviously stronger players in mind it seems to hold some truth even for weak chess engines.

best regards

IM Larry Kaufman estimates piecevalues statistically sound.
