Go up one level in this thread



there is software out there with middlegame keys. Chess Academy Office6.0 comes
to mind immediately. And I have often studied the typical plans/ideas of some
openings in a retrograde sort of way from whatever game I was reading by plying
through their opening keys to book-up on these positions.
i don't see any reason why you cant churn the kind of statistics that you speak
of right now with whats already on the market.
although i dont see the power of a numerical analysis in forging a human
understanding of a position and why it is important to know that particular one
as it is often the case a position has illustrative and education values for
understanding other positions -- and mere awareness of them could lead to their
avoidance in practice-- so statistics are not a complete answer for me.
