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.

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?

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
