Some final remarks


  1. Although the it is expected the REBEL evaluation is only fed with legal positions it has a safety check inside, if z3=33 then obviously something is wrong as the king can be captured, see remark in eval1.c


  1. On the other hand if w3=33 then the move led to this position is giving a check.


  1. Several evaluation ingredients are missing since they are handled in the preprocessor of Mephisto Gideon Professional, the main important ones are:


  • No code to avoid early queen play.
  • No pawn king shelter code.
  • No stimulation code to castle.
  • No stimulation code to exchange pieces in a won position and vice versa.

Future

I am planning to upgrade the 1993 evaluation gradually to the latest version of 2013.

Run eval.exe for a first impression and check with main.cpp
