You do not need to be a good player to create a good engine and you do not need to understand the meaning of these terms in order to be a good player. I read about these terms but they are not clear. I see initiative as the possibility to improve my position in every move but improving my position mean that I get advantages when I search deeper so I do not understand how can you have only initiative advantage when other things are equal including space and developement. space advantage may mean that your pieces has better mobility than the opponent developement advantage means that one side developed the pieces more than the opponents but again it comes together with better mobility. This is the reason that I do not understand what you mean by positions with only one of these advantages. Maybe my understanding of the terms is wrong(I do not remember reading a definition of what is meant by them). Uri
