I made a chess position heatmap

I have always been very curious to see what it means to take control of the center in a chess game in terms of bare piece percentages played there. I've also been curious if certain board positions are just overall very bad for pieces statistically. This is without considering any openings or defenses, which limits its usefulness, but since I couldn't find anything that did this, I made it. I used ChatGPT for a lot of it (who doesn't, anymore, especially for Python) but I added quite a bit in a short amount of time. I think it's kind of neat to learn position strength generically without studying openings.

Someone is going to tell me that this already exists or I am going to find out it exists within 3 months, but who cares coding is fun.

Cheers, folks, here it is if you want to play around with it:
