Yes, peaces should be placed on good squares, files, rows,... but I am not sure
whether this "ofcourse" can be examined as a tactical calculation (in particular
in closed positions).

Arguing against doing a better evaluation I always hear "BUT it's better to be
able to search two plies deeper instead". OFCOURSE... if you assume, that the
machines opponent is a machine, too... and does also concentrate on tactical
calculation.

I am sure, that being able to think also (! not only) in structures and having
plans in mind will make a machine superior one soon day.

Ofcourse I am not talking about putting an simple evaluation of tempi into the
current evaluation.

Internette Gruesse,
