Preliminary Evaluation Function

Ok, i'll show i did some "real work" instead of just playing. (Playing is part of our research.)
Drawing on my understanding, i'll first impose a relative material evaluation system. Evaluation rubrics (ha, ha) consists of relative strength and (negative) relative weakness.
Obviously, for example, when all the camels and horses are gone than either the dog is elevated to relative camel strength or the elephant is downgraded to relative horse strength.

Complete material values (penalty for each next-strongest enemy piece captured)

Elephant: 20 (-5 M, -2 H1, -3 H2, -1 D1, -2.5 D2, -0.5 C1, -1 C2, -0.2 for all R)
Camel: 12 (-1 H1, -2 H2, -0.5 D1, -2 D2, -0.5 C1, -2 C2, -0.1 for all R)
Horse: 8 x 2 (-1 D1, -1.5 D2, -0.5 C1, -1 C2, -0.1 for all R)
Dog: 5 x 2 (-0.5 C1, -1 C2, -0.1 for all R)
Cat: 3 x 2 (-0.1 for all R)
Rabbit: 1, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 5, 7, 10, 100 for each successive rabbit

Next up is to compare these against the FAME and DAPE empirical differences.
