That’s really a great idea to search for the best square for a given piece in a chess position. I made this sometimes manually moving a piece to another square and look to the new evaluation. Very time consuming. Will be there access on a website to import a FEN and to get this analisis made by SF 16.1?
I'll maybe do something like this in the future, but for now I focus my time on improving the underlying analysis before I spend time to make it into a website.
Wow! You were so kind offering me the source code to your finding-traps project. This one seems to be of even more practical value. Would it be alright to share it too? Great stuff really!
This wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened apparently.
I guess that I thought that queens are the most boring piece for this exercise, since they are so versatile that many central squares will be fine for them. Also they are very easily dislodged from a square so the ideal square is probably less stable than for other pieces.

Curious. How did you write the program? Python?
Yes, I use Python and mainly python chess to interact with PGNs and engines.
For this post, I've also written some code to modify the FENs where I worked with bitboards.
Could I have your code about this post please? About how to analyze the new best square?

Sure, you can share it
It seems you touch upon every piece from pawn to King, but skip the Queen!

I was actually just about to start on a project like this. Is the code available anywhere like github? I would love to fork and/or send PRs
Yes, the code is on github, but it's very messy and constantly changing. You can find it here: https://github.com/jk182/chessProjects
