Subject: How engines play the middle game

Author: David Terry

Please excuse my ignorance but I was hoping someone could help explain how a
chess playing engine handles the middle game.  It is my understanding that the
opening game is handled by moves in an opening book.  The endgame by the use of
tablebases.  However I haven't heard anything as to how an engine handles the
middle game.  My only guess is that it reads from a database hoping to find a
similar position and play that.  Is this true or am I way off?  Would having a
larger stronger database make an engine stronger?

Thanks for any comments,
Dave
