Material echange I use in order of not saying, what is so natural for me to say,
 "positional logic". For me this part of the logic (contrary to the "mate
solving logic". Mate solving logic search for mate only and don't use any
material avaluation) calculate how much material could be gain after given move
at given depth. For instance, given move, after its deposition in upper ply,
give 8000 and later, 8 plies deep give -2000. Final result is 6000. This
evaluation say me practically everything about position. Problem is only that
number of plies that you can search, after the time that you have, is limited.
