Go up one level in this thread


To clarify, by loose pieces I don't only mean attacked ones. The LPDO is mainly
speculative and aims at disrupting the deployment of the opponents pieces and
increasing the cohesion of it's own. There is an interplay between LPDO and
Mobility and Control, if LDPO scores too high one could wind up with a position
with too restricted mobility. I see these kinds of scorings as an alternative to
actual planning in my chess program. I use a slew of them instead of
piece-square tables and such, as I dont like too much hardwired knowledge. I
have seen some emergent behaviour at some settings f.ex: fighting for
weak/important square complexes, Karpovian Rook lifts and the smothering of
opponents with following decisive opening up of positions.
