Changes

* Penalty for the knight pair (as two knights are less successful against the rook than any other pair of minor pieces)

* decreasing the value of the rook pawns and increasing the value of the central pawns (though this can be done in the [[Piece-Square Tables|piece-square tables]] as well)

* Penalty for having no pawns, as it makes it more difficult to win the endgame

* Bad trade penalty as proposed by [[Robert Hyatt]], that is penalizing the material imbalances that are disadvantageous like having three pawns for a piece or a rook for two minors.
