@HG: how come the Prince's value is estimated less than the King's one by the ID? Is the royal character adding points?
Well, somewhere deep down this topic thread you asked the question quoted above. The point is that you define the King as KimAimDimN. So a King that hasn't moved yet has potentially 16 more moves than a King that has moved, from the ADN part. The problem was that the Interactive Diagram was determining the King value as if it would always have those extra non-captures, no matter where it was on the board, or how many moves it had already made. Those extra moves caused it to value the King higher than it should have.
I guess HaruNY just used the Queen as an example; the more initial moves you add, the more the ID would overestimate the value. Basically it would have treated iQ as if it was a normal Q. And iQ provides a lot of moves.
All that should be solved now.
Of course it was never really a problem on the King, as the King was the only royal piece here, so its capture would not result in the score increasing by its estimated piece value, but would increase it to 'infinity'. Because you would have won the game. So the value of a royal piece would never be used, unless you had more than one, with extinction royalty, so that the game can go on after capture of one.
