That's useful.  Thanks.

Could you please advance to the next level?

(1)  What are the main components of the "generation of moves"?
(2)  What are the main components of the "search of the game tree"?
(3)  What are the main components of the "evaluation of positions"?

At some point, I assume this will get into differences between individual chess
