Go up one level in this thread


The simplest way to improve tactis seems to be to do full width search in the
first 5, 6 or even 7 plys. You ensure nothing vital slip away. Then follows
extensions along the nodes where high scores are on stake or they change
dramatically.  I suppose that a rule of thumb is to concentrate full witdht
search  for pieces whose action concentrates in the king area: attacks,
sacrifices, etc happens there 90% of cases or are the most dangerous.
Yes, this is common stuff, like the wheel, but sometimes you forget...
