Larry is on the right track, but the moves to attack a piece measure will
give false results in some games. 

In Decima, for example, White's usual opening move attacks a Black piece,
yet the game is less sensitive than FIDE chess. 

It may be that number of moves to attack a goal piece is not always
accurate, though no examples spring to mind. Clearly more resarch is
needed to decide the best measure.
