I have read "How to reasess your Chess" and my impression was that the main procedure Silman explains that is different to Kotov is how to get the candidate moves and how to evaluate the resulting positions ( imbalances etc). Or to put it in different words: I thought his work was mainly about reduzing the tree size and getting more selective. I remember the first position in the book with the Qa7 move. It has been my impression that it should be possible to teach a computer to think exactly like this. What do I miss? pete
