Nowatzyk produced a matrix of nearly 100 evaluations of chess pieces and positions. For example, a knight out on the board has a value of 6,274, whereas a knight in a corner, with fewer possible moves, has a value of 4,738. The stage of the game also alters the evaluations. For example, it is foolhardy. to bring the king to the center early in the game it would be like marching naked into enemy cannon.

But in the endgame, when few pieces remain, the king is generally quite safe and could play an important part in supporting the other pieces. Deep Thought gives negative values to the king in the center early in the game and positive values later. Deep Thought continually evaluates these positional values. Nowatzyk started with rough values worked out by chess experts, but only after they had been improved by the intuitive adjustment of the best chess player of the five Dr. Murray Campbell of Canada.

Nowatzyk applied his tuning process to the positional values as adjusted by Campbell to obtain more exact values. He did this by running 900 games played by grandmasters and the next lower class International masters through a computer. By analyzing the play of these experts, the computer figured out the relative value they gave to various pieces In various positions. In effect, the method made Deep Thought a pupil of some of the best it it will make you teel good about yourself," the good doctor says.
