Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the material-count implementation and the extension's settings entry point, then trace how piece values are displayed. Done means users can configure values with up to two decimal places and those values are consistently used for material counts.

Description

enhancement

Currently lichess uses the convention of:

pawn = 1
knight/bishop = 3
rook = 5
queen = 9

It would be nice if we could tweak these values. For example many people believe the bishop/rook are worth more. Perhaps let us input up to 2 decimal values, as whole number tweaks might be too large.
