Subject: Give bonus for bishops that are alligned with enemy kingring.
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1ec10cd4fe1e67114178f444cfebd2ff1183408;hp=8c3d9d996af7aa34f019785818eecbeb9338b95f

Give bonus for bishops that are alligned with enemy kingring.

Inspired by the succesful patch "Give bonus for rooks that are alligned with enemy kingring" from Vizvezdenec,
this idea has been reused for bishops. Here, we only consider attacks that are not blocked by any pawn.
Also we have a 50% higher bonus than for the rooks.
