Subject: No Need For Computers To Evaluate Chess Positions!

Author: Graham Laight

Date: 02:41:31 07/01/03

When a GM is contemplating a move, he doesn't say to himself, "Hmmmmm. I would
give the resulting position a score of 1.723".

Such an evaluation is nonsense anyway. There should properly be only 3
evaluations:

1. Winning position

2. Drawing position

3. Losing position

It would be nice if a program could work as follows:

"nb5. This position contains a possible bishop trap".

"nd5. This puts more pressure on the opponent's king"

"Opponent classification: bishop trap success rate = 25%"

"Opponent classification: king attack success rate = 15%"

"Choice = nb5".
