Nimzo98 uses mobility terms for sure and it is a very fast program, too.
I was involved in the design of the mobility evaluation, funny things
can happen if you evaluate the mobility of a piece too high :). The user
can change the weight of four general mobility factors ('normal'
mobility and 'x-ray' mobility in midgame and endgame) if he/she wants to
do experiments.
