Re: additions to the shannon algorithm?
Another idea that has been kicked around is adding an eval bonus for the side to move, although, personally, I don't think it's a good idea. I think it is reasonable, however, for the king safety algorithm to consider the side to move in determining how serious a threat is.

Another very important thing is knowing which endgames are drawn.

Re: additions to the shannon algorithm?
Note that 1,3,3,5,9 is not the shannon way of counting,
but rather the Max Euwe manner of counting.

Max Euwe was world champion 1935-1937 and a very influental person in the chess scene.

http://www.pi.infn.it/~carosi/chess/shannon.txtAnother system is used by Max Euwe and Hans Kramer in Volume 1 of their The Middlegame, with values:
* pawn = 1
* knight = 3½
* bishop = 3½
* rook = 5½
* queen = 10.
Gerd(1) The relative values of queen, rook, bishop, knight and pawn are about
9, 5, 3, 3, 1, respectively.
