I see as part of the pv printing via the xboard protocol "post" mode.
The score is supposed to be measured in centipawns. Anyone know what that means? I use my own weights and measure for determining positional value. While I do have a piece value score best I can guess is that centipawn is 1/100th of my pawn value!?

Re: xboard protocol and centipawn
As Pawns come in many different kinds (passers, backward, doubled, isolanis, edge), all with very different values, the concept of 'centi-Pawn' is a bit ill-defined. Best is to use 1/950 of the Queen value as unit.
