I hope to be able to build a good evaluation function in the near future to prove my point. >> Perhaps you have already considered the option of a 'fuzzy logic' kind of function here. You would establish three functions: a middle game, an end game, and a function that would connect the two. Rather than a position being either middle or endgame, the third function would flow seamlessly from "1% endgame" to "99% endgame".
