I would not say that the quality of the ideas is very important. What is
important is to have many ideas and to test them. Because past the amateur
level, computer chess stops to be intuitive and I don't think anybody could come
up with the right ideas without testing them anyway.
Nowadays only 1 idea of mine out of 10 or 20 will give a real improvement. And I
think I am a somewhat experienced chess programmer...
